Yes. They're called datapacks.

"Oh! Those aren't mods!"

Well, they modify the game, so they're mods.

Yeah what I was asking about is official support in Java; that's probably what OP is referencing. I looked it up and the answer is no.

It's a bit like saying Skyrim didn't have mod support in 2011 when it released until 2017 when Creation Club content was added. Of course there were mods in 2011 but not officially supported ones.

He says a lot of stuff, including a lot of stuff he shouldn't. Jokes aside, his intentions were made clear when he bought out Bukkit than proceeded to tear it apart for the crime of being a better server hosting software than the garbage they had. Pretty cut-and-dry.

For those paying attention that was the first hint the guy might be a little bit of a nazi before he went completely mask-off on twitter.

What are you on about mate. The one who brought the whole bukkit project down was one of the bukkit developers not Mojang. The bukkit developer had contributed 1/3 of all code to the project iirc and protested that Mojang now owned bukkit and DMCA'd the entire thing to hell and back.

At that point it was easier to kill of bukkit and start over rather than to de-tangle and re-write 1/3 of the code.

You think they might have had a reason to do that, something that had to do with them completely stiffing them out in the agreement? You're acting like they were being unreasonable but this is just a continuation of the white man's treaty, a tactic where you take a minority of a community, whoever's the cheapest and buy them out, and then have them represent the entire community. That's exactly what they did and if it wasn't for the fact that they had a controlling stake in the project they would have gotten away with it too. Is it at all surprising that one of the developers who 'played ball' in the scheme ended up becoming the CEO?

As with all things, if you zoom out and squint you can see the reality of the situation; and what you see is a capitalist organization shutting down a project that wasn't even competing with them or even a threat because they weren't under their absolute control. All capitalists do this, and it's the biggest reason why capitalism is such a dysfunctional and shitty system where inferior products end up as monopolies, by simple dint of hunting down and killing or assimilating anything better than them.

When did he do that? I'm real out of the loop when it comes to modding Minecraft

Back in the alpha days

Also texture/resource packs are also technically mods, because you are modifying the game's resources and packs are officially supported.
