Wiki Shutdown and Forge Announcements/Information

[Guest Mr. Flamegoat]

Effective immediately we have started redirecting traffic going from http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki to https://mcforge.readthedocs.io

 

The wiki was quite fragmented and mostly out of date. A concerted effort is in place to make sure that the RTD is up-to-date and generic enough to apply to current and future versions of Forge/mod development. (A huge thanks to the contributors making that look and read as awesome as it does!)

 

After the panel this year at PAX West, a few of the questions we received made it apparent that because of the speed at which Forge has grown, there is a lot of out of date information still floating around. This is a part of that clean-up process.

 

Primarily, we want you guys to know that we're making an effort to start organizing and doing what we can on our end to make sure you guys have the tools and information you need to get started. Those of you that are still looking for some good starting points, I'd highly recommend checking out https://mcforge.readthedocs.io if you haven't.

 

Obviously the forums are a great source of information, and although we cannot announce anything specific at this time, I can tell you that we are looking hard at the forums and asking a lot of questions, primarily "how can we make this better, easier, and faster".

 

We hope to have those answers in the very near future. As always, if you guys have any questions or comments, we're here to listen. We stay pretty busy, but I'm doubling down on the Forge community and the experience here and in our other sites over the next few months.

 

Hopefully we can really help get some of your creative ideas off the ground faster by providing you the information you need to get started quicker.

 

Also, a note for forum mods/wiki writers/etc - we will be announcing some things soon as well as bringing you guys in to discuss further changes coming in the coming months.
