Mojang is removing obfuscation from Minecraft Java — here’s why that’s a big deal for devs

Mojang Studios is already testing features for the next major Minecraft update, but that hasn’t stopped the developer from announcing another big update coming to Minecraft in the future — except this one is very different.

Following the full release of the upcoming Mounts of Mayhem update, Mojang Studios will begin removing obfuscation from Minecraft: Java Edition. For most people, this will mean nothing; for modders, this will change everything.
