A bit rant on the fact that 1.13 is not out yet

[User670]

I apologize for bringing it up, and I did read the thing on the top of every page.

 

My problem is: I'm a player of Minecraft China. Minecraft China is an official, modified-for-China version operated by a Chinese company, Netease. The modifications require Forge to work, for some reason. Then you can guess it: we Minecraft China players cannot play 1.13 on Minecraft China.

 

I understand that 1.13 is very different from previous versions, and development can take a lot more time. I hope development of Forge for 1.13 can go smoothly so that Chinese players can play 1.13 earlier.

 

Spoiler

 

for those who want to remind/warn me of the announcement on the top of every page:

I have read it.

 

for those who want to suggest alternative methods to play Aquatic Update:

Yes we can actually purchase the actual International, Mojang version of Minecraft. But China is a bit weird and I'm not gonna talk about it here.

Yes we have Bedrock aquatic update for both PC and mobile. (except the PC one doesn't cross play with the mobile one)

No we can't play vanilla 1.13 on Minecraft China. Even vanilla on Minecraft China requires Forge. (and when F3 on a vanilla game, it shows X mods loaded (X ranges from 10-20 depending on the MC version))

 

for those who want to ban me for talking of this topic:

go ahead.

This part is mainly caused by them having to rewrite the whole API. Many mod developers or just straight up developers will tell you that it is a complicated system. Also I believe most people working on forge have a job outside of working on forge, which complicates things. However it is making significant progress and a majority of it is done, but that doesn't mean it will be released this week or next week. I am not a developer of forge so I cant say anything for sure.

You won't have to worry about this, at most the thread will be deleted and a "strike" will be added to your account.

I have no sympathy for you players who use Netease, their entire business model is bad and abuses the hard work that we here at Forge, and other modders do. If they want to start complaining that I don't produce Forge fast enough, then they can start helping out. But no they just sit back, toss DRM onto things, and just rake it in.

It'll be done when it's done.

if NetEase needs Forge, they can easily spare some change to financially help the people who make it.  Otherwise they are just leeching.  Similarly if there are thousands of players on Minecraft China who can't wait for Forge, they can check out Patreon.  Otherwise they can just wait.
