Q: Is Jaden's Nether Expansion still a Datapack/Resource Pack?
A: No, JNE has been been completely reworked into a proper java coded mod for NeoForge!.
Q: When will you update to [X] minecraft version?
A: JNE will be staying on 1.21.1 for the foreseeable future; there are no plans to move to 26.1+ and no explicit permission will be granted to port JNE to any newer versions on my behalf.
Q: Backports?
A: No.
Q: Will you continue to update 1.20.1?
A: The 1.20.1 version of JNE will not be recieving any new content updates, except for bug fixes. And is largely abandoned, I personally recommend moving to the 1.21.1 NeoForge version.
Q: Why was Fabric Port discontinued?
A: Managing such a massive project like JNE on both modloaders was becoming too demanding. and the Fabric API itself was lacking and kept getting in the way; ultimately holding the project back. Moving forward JNE is going to be Forge/NeoForge Exclusive.
Q: Is this mod AI-generated?
A: NO. Everything in Jaden's Nether Expansion is FULLY HUMAN-MADE from its textures, models, code, sounds, music and more. Absolutely no generative AI content was used to make JNE.
