> Minecraft is wierd because all that amazing modding that is done is in spite of mojang not because of them.

Umm no ?

They provide deobfuscation mappings, they keep features in the code that are not exposed to players while specifically mentioning modders (new dialog system, game tests API).

You also have a couple of Minecraft developers hanging out in modloaders discord servers.

While it's true that they really started embracing modding in like 2019 (when they started releasing deobfuscation mappings), they were never hostile to modding
