How much is changed in minecraft forge for 1.9 vs 1.8?

mooL · July 19, 2016

Im currently learning how to make a 1.8 mod, what is changed in 1.9?

What would i need to know in order to update a mod to the next version? What is remained the same?

The main changes are:

An overhaul of Forge's registry system
More singleton classes (e.g.
```
Biome
```
) having registries instead of arrays with manual IDs
Most player interaction methods having an
```
EnumHand
```
parameter and an
```
ActionResult
```
/
```
EnumActionResult
```
return value due to the addition of dual wielding

For more detailed changelogs, look the Releases section.

I wouldn't recommend updating to 1.9, you should update straight to 1.9.4 or 1.10.2 (which is 99% backwards compatible with 1.9.4).
