Obfuscation help

[cookiedragon234]

Could someone point me towards any guides on how to obfuscate forge mods, or give me some of their advice? Ive tried ZKM, Stringer and Proguard and neither work, I'm assuming because the forge classpath is not very easily available to them.

 

And before I get the brigade of people saying "Dont do that" and not being at all helpful, I dont want to have my code stolen. I think thats understandable. I produce many examples of pieces of my code for others to learn from, but Im not gonna release my entire code base to anyone with a decompiler.

No one is going to steal your code. They're going to steal the compiled, obfuscated jar.

Can you recommend a way of obfuscating the jar then?

Why does it matter? Thieves don't care about your source and you can't protect the jar.

Thieves do care about my source because they can steal the code and pass it off as their own. And I am protecting the usage of the jar through hwid checking however that is redundant without obfuscation.

It’s a hacked client for anarchy servers that includes very unique and complicated techniques to exploit anti cheats, work that I wouldn’t like to be copied. The hacked client community is much less respectful than the general modding community which is why obfuscation is a must.
