Why Minecraft Has So Many Mod Loaders (Forge, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge Explained). This is a NEW Minecraft 1.21.3 video. In this video, I am going to talk about the history of Minecraft Mod Loaders. More specifically, we are going to talk about why Minecraft has so many Mod Loaders. Back in the day, there used to just be Forge. But as of 2024. we now have 4 massive Mod Loaders. Forge, Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge. How did all these Mod Loaders come from and why do they exist? Let's talk about it! It's very epic, fun, amazing and poggers! This will make playing Minecraft insane and amazing! Your players will absolutely love it! I had lots of laughs and fun. Hopefully, you'll get some useful information from this video. I love Minecraft fun!

There was one hidden factor that split the modding community; community-friendliness, which Forge, at the time, was lack of "immensively."

I was trying making my own mod when Minecraft 1.14 was launched. And Forge was not "officially" announced quite soon. The developers continued to release very unstable betas, which, of course, affected so many mods. The big problem was Forge, the main developer(s), was/were not friendly to so-called normal people, I would say. Even put moderately, they really harshly criticized anyone who came up with some questions that they thought were too stupid or too "basic." They literally drove people out. The funny thing was there was no detailed documentation at all at the time, and many technical issues were actually related to Forge itself, its unstability.

So it was very natural for many people who were sick of that attitude to try to find an alternative. Forge was not just the "bloated" mod loader; it was the people who made people moved away from Forge.
And it was not just me who has this kind of opinion. You can actually find many related episodes when people started to think about an alternative, i.e. Fabric, seriously (Minecraft 1.14). You can also find that it was never just a chance that Sodium was released only in Fabric when it was first announced. And there were lots of stories behind it, as well. :)

quilt is basically fabric but they add 5 months to the time to update to new mc versions

[DominikP]

I personally think Neoforge and Fabric will be the most popular in a few years. Quilt really has no advantage over Fabric and with many Mods being ported to Neoforge instead of Forge (especially Sodium 6.0.0) I think Neoforge will be more popular than Forge.

[Shadowbee]

I would choose fabric and Neofroged for my mod

[focamacho]

And we also have Architectury API, devs can code using the Architectury API and it will act as an intermediate to work on fabric/forge/neoforge.

[BooleanDev]

quilt will be one of the failed forks. most forks born out of drama fail unless a significant portion of the maintainers move over with it, which didnt happen here. Neoforge has a better chance of working out.

[Enitii]

I think quilt will die because fabric is just fabric. And Quilt seems kind of useless as a mod loader. There's not many mods and not really many developers moving over to it because fabric works just fine for most of them.

For NeoForge, I think it's going to be a competitor with Forge. It's going to become a lightweight version of Forge, but if you want complex mods, you need Forge.

Just so you there's no hate, this is how I see it working and how I have been modding. This is my experience. Things can change.

[SincereBloom]

After a few years of being a forge supremacist I now finally have found inner peace and can appreciate Fabric.
Quilt is still trash tho.

[captain]

Honestly, a nice vid, man. I've been pondering for a while about all these forks and finding information online about those "incedents" was pretty hard due to the info being mix.

[cowherder]

I use Fabric for mods because I can use optimization mods to make the game run smoother, and generally feel like it’s much smoother to run. I think Fabric and Forge will remain popular however NeoForge and Quilt may become equally a popular.

[JustNeutral.]

I think that eventually, quilt and neoforge will take over. However, it will probably take a very long time for those to become more popular.

Hey there lad! Great video, tho having spend the last year talking to all the modloaders invoved i wanted to issue a few "corrections"

1) Quilt beeing started by drama
I have been in contact with I5, the person who started QuiltMC or "Fabrique" as he did not agree with Player's direction. WovenMC, another modloader, WAS created because of the discord drama by NuclearF*rts and Lambda, who later joined Quilt, who then did some... questionable things.

2) Lex beeing the issue
Lex by no means is a "kind" person, ive described him as an asshole numerious times. But having attented some forge meetings myself i can tell you that he is not mallicious, just not someone who should be in the front of the store so to speak. Having obtained internal chats from neo, leaked to my by an 3rd party, the story told by Neo has some holes, for instance the reason the locked Lex out was because he joined a private discord discussing the split. Wich he got an invite for by an "hacked account". Neo is certainly doing great things but i dont buy the simple story of "lex did it"

Other then that fairly accurate information, far better then my first attempts. Good job

[RandomDuckyGuy]

i use fabric because it’s lightweight and neoforge for making my own mods just because i learned it

[torrenstransitenthusiast]

I use before because it's currently the newest loader I've heard of and it supports all the mods in 1.21.1 and im happy with Neoforge loader

[samuelhulme]

As a single person mod developer, developing mods for multiple loaders is actually quite easy mostly because vanilla Minecraft’s code is mostly the same (apart from a few loader specific changes), and with APIs like the Architectury API or Weave Loader it makes development much easier.

when 1.13 released, it took a lot for forge to get updated and when it did, it was unstable (i mean minecraft itself was unstable in 1.13) and that's probably why fabric exists

[floris]

12:05 this is what i was struggling with yesterday. Its anojing to chose. I am a beginning mod developer, so i need a lot of help making mods. MCreator makes it really eazy to make mods but that only works for forge and i mostly use fabric. I ended up using fabric with a lot of youtube tutorials lol.

[crossscar-dev]

As a person who develops mods I would personally develop my mod for fabric first then port over to neoforge. The main real problem for me with Quilt is that it currently has no advantage over fabric and it tries to force the use of Kotlin rather than Java.

[TheKnytemayor]

I personally use NeoForge because it's a "revamp" or "refresh" of Forge for modern versions. I believe that Forge had its heyday in around 1.12, but now it's 1.21, and it might be time to change over. This is only my opinion, and of course, like Kasai said, use Fabric or Quilt for optimisation.

[Dearminder]

Didn't you mix forge with modloader in 2011? I remember people mostly using it and no one ever said about forge
