JByteMod-Beta VS fernflower

First go grab JByteMod from their GitHub https://github.com/GraxCode/JByteMod-Beta/releases Download the latest zip version (currently JByteMod-1.8.2.zip) and unzip the contents to somewhere on your computer. Run the JByteMod-1.8.2.jar you just unzipped. (You need a Java RTE of your choice) Menu File > Load > Select your server jar file Menu Search > Search LDC > Find "www" Go to the Search tab to see the results and find the line with: "http://www.minecraft.net/game/checkserver.jsp?user=" Right click on it > "Jump to Declaration" Now you should see the bytecode listed in the Editor tab. Find the line again and left click on it. Then right click > Edit Change "www" to "session" and click OK Menu File > Save as > save it as a jar file with a new name eg "Server_online.jar" Replace your existing server jar with the new edited online jar in your server and edit your server.properties file to have online-mode=true instead of false. Done!

Hello! Today I'm happy to announce the release of a project that me and my friends have been working on over the course of the last year, Quiltflower! Originally intended just for use with the QuiltMC toolchain with Minecraft, Quiltflower quickly expanded to be a general purpose java decompiler aiming to create code that is as accurate and clean as possible. If the name sounds familiar it's because Quiltflower is a fork of Fernflower, the (in)famous decompiler that was developed by Stiver, maintained by Jetbrains, and became the default decompiler in Intellij IDEA. Fernflower also quickly found its way into many other tools. After many frustrations with it myself with its decompiled code structuring and quality I decided to do something about it, and here we are! Over the past year, Quiltflower has added support for features such as modern string concatenation, a code formatter, sealed classes, pattern matching, switch expressions, and try-with-resources, and more. Quiltflower also focuses on the code quality of the decompiled output, and takes readability very seriously. We'd greatly appreciate it if you'd give it a try, with our Intellij Plugin or as a standalone jar. While it has come a long way it's still a work in progress, and feedback can be reported on our issue tracker.

You can decompile the classes into .java sourcecode using Fernflower and store that to disk, then use the Attach Sources option to add it to the binary dependency you're using. This allows you to edit the source freely for your reference while continuing to use the original binary.
