Just a quick reminder: these changes don’t affect our Minecraft End User License Agreement and Minecraft Usage Guidelines. Both still apply to Minecraft: Java Edition and any mods, so please keep them in mind. For extra transparency, you’ll now find a LICENSE file inside the jar that links directly to the EULA.
Here’s what modders can expect in upcoming releases and snapshots:
- No more obfuscation maps in version .jsons – as they’re no longer needed
- The client and server .jar files won’t be obfuscated
- Each .jar now includes a new LICENSE file
