Which version should I upgrade my 1.7.10 mod to?

[Rikka0_0]

I'm planning to upgrade my 1.7.10 mod to support a more recent version of Minecraft.

Due to the huge change in the block\item rendering, it is going to take a lot of effort to upgrade, almost equal to re-writing the mod.

Which version should I target? 1.10.2, 1.11.2 or 1.12?

i would suggest going to 1.11.2 and then later when many people will be playing 1.12 upgrade again

Forge policy is always to target the latest stable build (currently 1.12 - 14.21.1.2387). Otherwise we get another situation like we had with 1.7.10, where no-one wanted to update.

Personally I plan on updating an older mod of mine to 1.10 or 1.11 before updating it to 1.12, as there are fewer alterations that need to be made that have to be done for 1.12 and I figure I can start on the earlier changes, push a version for 1.10/1.11, before finalizing things for 1.12.

 

Its because I want to supply the mod for the people who have already split off, while segmenting the work that needs to be done into smaller batches.

Update to 1.12. If the mod is large, by the time you do it, most likely the majority of 1.8+ players will be on 1.12.

I started upgrading to 1.11.2 yesterday, and get 1500+ errors. After temporarily removing some parts of my mod which are closely related to rendering, It can run in 1.11.2.

Trying to rewrite the rendering code and solve weird bugs QAQ

I won't update to 1.12 yet because there will be 1.12.2
