https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/removing-obfuscation-in-java-editionCongratulations to who I assume are Mojang's programmers for finally pushing this through. When I started work on alternate community-sourced Minecraft mappings in 2016, I did not imagine that it would start a domino chain culminating in Mojang's legal team finally conceding that the charade of binary obfuscation for one of the most reverse engineered games in the world is no longer beneficial to maintain.
Now let's hope Fabric finally lets Yarn go independent, as they should have done long ago.
