    Modifications to the Minecraft base files to assist in compatibility between mods. New Discord: https://discord.minecraftforge.net/

  • As for mods, you can see what programming languages open source mods use on GitHub very easily from the "Languages" section of the right sidebar. For example, the (Minecraft Forge Mod Loader)[https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge] is 97.9% Java, 1.2% Groovy, 0.5% CSS, 0.2% JavaScript, 0.2% Kotlin, and <0.1% GLSL.

  • CC-Tweaked

    Just another ComputerCraft fork

  • I've only seen Lua used in programming mods (Computer Craft, Open Computers, CC: Tweaked) because it's a programming language they can get working inside of the Java game. However, the mods themselves are still predominantly made in Java: (CC: Tweaked's GitHub)[https://github.com/cc-tweaked/CC-Tweaked] reports 73.4% Java, 24.4% Lua (and it comes pre-loaded with a bunch of programs on the in-game computers), and then tiny bits identified as Kotlin, TypeScript, Python, Common Lisp, and others.
