Welcome back to your favourite series recapping the month’s Quilt development! This month saw tons of work on mappings with Enigma 2.0
, plenty of new beta releases for Quilt Loader, work on porting Quilted Fabric API to new Fabric API releases and Minecraft versions, and work on the wiki, Quilt Config, the website, and more for our lovely miscellaneous section.
Hello! This is the first entry in a newly consistent series on the blog, chronicling what’s been going on in Quilt development.
It’s been quite a while since the last proper development update here, with the last one being our 2021 October update. In this fairly enormous post, we’ll be covering all the biggest developments since entering beta! We’ll be going through Quilt Standard Libraries, Quilt Loader, Quilt Mappings, Quilted Fabric API, Chasm, Quilt Kotlin Libraries, Cozy, and a few other things. Taking the crown for the new longest blog post, I hope you enjoy seeing what we’ve been working on!
Update 17/09/2023: The beacon has been permanently removed in Loader 0.20.0
following the decision that the usefulness of the MAU statistic is outweighed by community concerns and confusion regarding telemetry.
Update 17/07/2023: The beacon has been temporarily disabled following a report that it was erroneously storing IP addresses. Please see this forum post for more information.
Quilt Loader 0.19.2 adds beacon functionality to count Quilt’s Monthly Active Users, or MAUs. There has recently been some confusion about how this functionality works and why it was added, so this blog post is intended to provide a clear explanation of both of those things.
The Quiltflower decompiler is an integral part of Quilt’s toolchain, and has been quietly developed by jaskarth and the rest of the Decompilers team since our earliest beginnings. Yesterday, the team decided to separate from Quilt and continue development under the Vineflower organisation.
