1 year ago More than that, i feel like the features of the mod could be split into smaller mods. A lot of features target different kinds of players, like modpack makers, server owners, technical players, your average joe schmoe. Maybe if the features were divided in more targeted categories, it would be easier to find mantainers. Huge lists are always disencouraging, specially when you don't care about everything there.

1 year ago I did a quick sorting of features based on usage cases, as opposed to the current "intrusivity" approach. Might be useful to sort things out.

1 year ago The most important features to me are the QoL and aesthetic changes, pixel density consistency is excellent, and while it could be done with a resource pack, doing so would be a massive pain and require a lot of time and effort. Trident void returning is massively important, it's been in Bedrock Edition for ages. Honestly most of the Trident changes are excellent, and make the item much more versatile and usable for how hard it is to get. Being able to crawl on command is MASSIVE for me, and is a very important feature to my personal use, as is blinking items, it lets me see what items to prioritize grabbing and has saved my butt more times than i'd like to admit, especially with its integration with the flashing white. Being able to swap conflicting enchantments is again Huge to my playing, and is a massive help to me in some situations, and actually being able to actually see what enchantments are on an item/book is super massive, as without it I find it nearly impossible to find what enchantments I'm looking for otherwise, same for the Bee count indicator on Bee Home blocks. Reintroducing the ghast "squish" animation is extremely helpful for when they are facing away from you and decide to shoot anyways, and Rainbow Experience is super important to me as I find it makes it much easier to see Experience Orbs. No Stance Transition is again a massive feature for accessibility and makes it much easier for me to play the game, as without it I can get disoriented very easily. The alternative Absorption sound is excellent for "readability" of the game, as it can be difficult to pay attention to health bars and several mobs at once, and Bubble Columns popping makes it much easier for me to actually tell where they are, especially in large bodies of water. Silverfish step sounds make it much easier to tell if danger is near, especially early game, and Channeling II allows the enchantment to have use much more often.
EDIT: SFort will be continuing to maintain Fabrication, as he has been. I will do this rework in another mod if I get around to it. I've granted him write access in all relevant places and migrated the site to GitHub so I'm no longer getting in the way.
Fabrication has become a massive behemoth that no one is able to adequately maintain, and its large collection of mixins and custom injection code makes maintaining it across versions (and porting it to new versions, such as 1.19.3) essentially impossible. SFort has been taking on the brunt of this while I just kind of pretend the project doesn't exist, but he's run out of time and motivation as well at this point.I feel like we need to start over — scope on this mod has creeped to a ridiculous degree, and it's not even possible for users to get an idea of what all the features in it even are. The wiki page is so long as to be a bad joke.
Translations are also an issue with the incredible number of features; someone did go to the effort, and I commend them for that, but with the way the project is structured it's not really possible to natively support it.
I am holding a vote for the most popular features in Fabrication. Vote for your favorites. I will keep the top 50 in a rewrite, prioritizing the top 15. All other features will be removed. Feature PRs will no longer be unconditionally accepted.
I would like Fabrication 4 to focus on stability. Fabrication has garnered a (deserved) reputation for being unstable and buggy — it's simply not possible for us to test and adequately maintain all 261 features, and there's a lot of odd custom injections and reimplementations of Fabric API for no reason. 4 should use standard community libraries, like MixinExtras and Fabric API.
