Posted February 5, 20187 yr I was reading this post On 6/17/2017 at 3:47 PM, LexManos said: Sadly core modding is still a thing. and it feels like core modding is something bad. What are core mods? Are they bad? Edit: Nevermind. I found a post with information on it. http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/62870-what-is-a-coremod-and-what-are-it-advantages-and-disadvantages/ I don't know how to delete my post. Although I still wonder if there is a way to identify which mod out there is a coremod. Edited February 5, 20187 yr by Colored Sheep
February 5, 20187 yr Author Thanks! I sort of found that thread a few seconds ago and edited my main post. Would there be a way to identify coremods in places where one downloads mods to play?
March 6, 20187 yr Its not that difficult to do, if you open the JAR file as a zip and find the MANIFEST.MF file (inside the META-INF folder) and open it in a text editor, if it has the FMLCorePlugin value set, then it's a coremod (more accurately: if it is not set, it cannot be a coremod, if it is, you would have to examine the indicated class in JD-GUI to look for the annotations* that declare the class for being loaded for the class transformation events--ie. coremodding--but the only reason that it would be set would be if the developer went out of their way to set it because they need to perform those operations). *Deliberately vague. Edited March 6, 20187 yr by Draco18s Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
