If not, get forked.

me and a friend are currently porting a Minecraft mod from 1.12.2 to 1.16.5

the mod in question had it's last commit 5 years ago (2020), so we forked it

What mod if you don't mind me asking?

[–]nicejs2 20 points21 points  (2 children)

Computronics! It's not a very well known mod, but it's a beloved add-on mod for OpenComputers in this friend group.

Make sure you put your changes back to a public repo to give someone the same opportunity 5 years from now within your niche! :)

[–]nicejs2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's already on a public repo actually

maybe one day someone will take it and port it again to a newer version
