How do I port an old mod to a newer version of Minecraft?

[PulseBeat_02]

So there is this mod called Ambience, (a mod which adds music), that I would like to port to 1.15. The current version is 1.12. What steps would I take to get the code from the Github and set the version in Gradle/Forge to 1.15? I've downloaded the code in a zip file, edited the gradle config file to set the mcp mappings to the latest 1.15 version, and set the version to the latest 1.15 forge version. After that I ran gradlew eclipse and gradlew genEclipseRuns. Is there anything else I have to do before in order to get myself started and start changing up the code to make it compatible with forge 1.15? Thanks.

Nevermind, I got it fixed by myself. No need for help!

Hi, could you please share how you got it fixed?

It could totally be working completely different now, but I want tot port a 1.19.3 mod to 1.20.2

You can checkout this page in the forge documentation.

net.minecraftforge.network.NetworkEvent seems to have disappeared between 1.20.1 and 1.20.2. Maybe we need another primer?

Yes the networking has been rewritten to be simpler. All you really need is the ChannelBuilder class. You can see Forge's usage as an example.
