While they’re not traditional modifications that are made outside of the game and then brought into the game through other means, they still have very similar results. Many players have moved to Command Blocks, to create their “mods”. With mods taking a very long time to create, many creators have went to a new approach, which has almost immediate results. With attempts to move their core game’s community to the other editions of Minecraftfailing, Mojang will definitely need to cater to the original players of the game who still use the “Java Edition.”

Many can only assume that while Mojang is very knowing to the problems that the system they have for updating their game is broken for modders, they’re putting little focus into making the workload easier on said creators. Mojang’s priority has always been (and arguably always will be) the game itself. To Mojang, while the modding community is a large part of Minecraft’s history and present, it’s not the priority that they are focusing on. Mojang’s updates have never affected Minecraft’s core structure, as the core structure is what their product is meant to be. These consistent updates on Mojang’s behalf are great for the core game (which should always be the main focus of it’s audience and selling strategy), but inadvertently tears down at times weeks, months, or years of work within seconds. If Minecraft can not recognize the input, it may crash the game or bug out, making the mod (and sometimes the game itself) useless and broken. When Mojang changes their game and it interferes with a code a modder has created, the modder must tweak his or her code until the game can recognize the input. These changes, both big (updates such as the “ Exploration Update”) and small (updates such as revisions, bug fixes, etc) cause modders to consistently nitpick each individual strand of code, as Mojang tweaks theirs. As Minecraft will “never be finished” (as far as we’re aware, in terms of new original content created by Mojang), modders never get a break from tweaking their creations for the game.
