What version of Forge should I use for modding?

[deathchanter]

Hi, I'm now trying to make my block's affiliated tile entity update using onBlockActivated(). But seems this method doesn't exist in the latest Forge version for 1.16.5...where in earlier tutorials I see peoples using it.

So in general, which version offers the most complete and deobfuscated code to work with? Thanks!

Latest forge version uses mojang mappings i believe...finding the equivalent of onBlockActivated shouldn't be too difficult...you can look into the code of other blocks that you know are using that method and see what the new name is

Thanks, so maybe I should study the code for vanilla blocks a bit...!

By the way, in this version I still see a lot of random variable names like p_196271_3_...why is it so if we have mappings?

I believe the mappings take care of method and field names, but not parameter names. I thought I saw somewhere there was a project going on working to give them names, but I haven't got and more info on that.
