Overview

  • Mojang will offer un-obfuscated experimental snapshots alongside current obfuscated builds starting with the next snapshot.
  • The first snapshot following the full Mounts of Mayhem launch will be the first non-obfuscated Java Edition build.
  • Future releases will ship with Mojang’s original technical names intact, streamlining mod development, debugging, and crash-log readability.
  • The change targets Minecraft: Java Edition only, with no impact on Bedrock Edition’s add-on and marketplace model.
  • Legal terms remain unchanged as jars stop being obfuscated, obfuscation maps are removed from version JSONs, and each jar includes a LICENSE file linking to the EULA.
