QFAPI is out now for 1.20.6 and 1.21. However, the version of QSL (the Quilt-only tools we provide developers) bundled in these versions is much smaller than before, and currently only contains the qsl_base and crash_info modules. More APIs will be reintroduced to QSL as time goes on. This means that mods written using Quilt Standard Libraries may need extra work to be ported to 1.20.6 and beyond, while Fabric mods for these versions will work fine. Additionally, delays on updating to new versions should be significantly shorter in the future.
More importantly, however, you may have noticed that this is the second blog post in two days! That’s not even enough time for Eminem to write another song. This is because rai (your usual blog post correspondent) now has competition! If she doesn’t turn in the next monthly blog post on time, I’m replacing her with an AI trained on speeches given by members of the Canadian Parliament. What could go wrong?
Welcome back to the blog, quilters. It’s been three months since the last time I wrote up one of these big update posts, three months since you skipped to the parts you cared about without reading my whole post, and one month since Eminem released a new Slim Shady song and took away my chance to start this post with a “guess who’s back” joke. Which is fine. I’m not mad. Not even a little. Let’s see what happened with Quilt in the last few months!
In my journeys through the many QuiltMC codebases, I’ve learned many things. One of those teachings is that I should keep this intro short and sweet. This month saw tons of work on QSL, a big release of Quilt Loader, and a ton of new mappings. Simply delightful. Grab your machete, and I’ll show you the path to enlightenment via learning about updates to our block game modding toolchain.
Well gamers. Another month another late blog post from your local insomniac. This month, to break up the monotony of my ramblings, we’ve brought local QSL guy OroArmor onto the program to tell us about, you guessed it, QSL. Come sit by the fireside with him.
As a homunculus constructed of mappings and Swing, barely tied together by a high-voltage web of electricity and emotion, I try to deliver a nuanced view of each month’s development in the Quiltosphere, to varying degrees of success. Let’s see what happened in the last 31 days of development.
