Channel: NorthWestTrees MCreator
Date: 2022-10-14

Today I will cover some reasons why porting your mod to newer versions can boost downloads and make your development experience better. See below for a list of pros and cons.

► PROS
1. Porting allows you to spread out your reach for more than one version.
2. More downloads across more versions.
3. Always port upwards for better compatibility.
4. No need to support development for older versions.
5. Patches and releases on the same version often double downloads.

► CONS
1. Things may occasionally break with different mod versions.
2. Testing your features is always a good idea to find bugs when porting.
3. More features your mod has the longer it takes to port.
4. Porting backwards can break features and mechanics for your mod.
5. Double the work for supporting more than one version of your mod.
6. Less reach for downloads across other versions.
