Forge would then load your mod when Minecraft itself was loading, allowing the developer to look up classes and patch them. This, however, is pretty inefficient, as it's applied at runtime. This system allows you to apply ASM patches on the same level as Mixin: before the game actually starts. With `IFMLLoadingPlugin` gone, Forge and Mixin are now using [ModLauncher](https://github.com/McModLauncher/modlauncher) to modify the game's code. Refusing to give up our right to torture ourselves by writing bytecode, we set out to find a new way to do ASM patching. @@ -25,10 +23,37 @@ This plugin only recognises patches written using `IInjector` from the [Lillero] * `handlesClass()`: will be called for each game class ModLauncher discovered. `LilleroLoader` will mark each of the classes the various `IInjector` asked for. * `processClassWithFlags()`: will be called for each marked game class, allowing to apply modifications to it. -*Technically, `handlesClass()` and `processClassWithFlags()` are called one after the other for each class loaded, but it's easier to understand if you disregard that. +\*Technically, `handlesClass()` and `processClassWithFlags()` are called one after the other for each class loaded, but it's easier to understand if you disregard that. -# Installation -Right now the only way to include this loader in your Minecraft instance is to modify the launch profile adding it to the loaded classes. +## Installation +Right now the only way to include this loader in your Minecraft instance is to modify the launch profile adding it to the loaded classes.
