Help updating

[oldcheese]

Welp. I've been gone for ages. Mostly due to rl being crazy (Graduation year at college.) So I've been looking to update my mods and stuff. My main two questions are. 

 

1. What version should I update to. Currently files are 1.12, should I go for 1.14? I see the forge versions are updated to 1.14.4 yet the documentation is just updated to 1.13

2. What are the main changes between 1.12 and 1.14. I do realize that stuff has been kept the same a lot since the overhauls to listeners. I heard that all drops are now in loot tables? 

 

Thanks in advance.

Yes

1.13 was kind of interim and temporary. 99% of the docs are still useful for 1.14, though there's the occasional thing that had its name changed that isn't noted in the 1.13 docs.

Correct. Get used to the idea of writing your own loot functions. They aren't that bad, honest.

Thanks! I was just wondering because there's not a lot of documentation for 1.14 yet. I'll just follow 1.13 and adapt. Thanks again!

 

 

Edit: I know I'm probably an idiot. Is there a 1.12 to 1.13 primer. Or is this not needed considering that 1.13 was an 'inbetween' version as you state?

That is exactly the thing I linked. My point was that going from 12 -> 13 and 12 -> 14 is 99% the same.

That's what I thought. I was just checking. English comprehension isn't my strongest suit. 

 

Thanks for all the help!
