ForgeFlower

What ForgeFlower is

ForgeFlower is a free software project containing Forge’s modifications to FernFlower, intended to address bugs and inconsistencies. Its public GitHub repository is owned by the MinecraftForge organization and identifies MinecraftForge/FernFlower as its main repository. The repository includes source code, Gradle build files, a Gradle wrapper and a FernFlower submodule, and is licensed under Apache License 2.0. FernFlower describes itself as an unofficial mirror of the FernFlower Java decompiler. Its documentation describes running the decompiler from the command line on class, zip and jar files, as well as scanning directories recursively. It also documents options for handling inner classes, reconstructing names from debug information and renaming ambiguous identifiers, plus a custom interface for identifier renaming. These are FernFlower capabilities; ForgeFlower’s stated purpose is to modify that project. The FernFlower README says the decompiler remains under development and notes that some command-line options are aimed at professional reverse engineers. ForgeFlower’s repository has a Releases section but lists no releases, and its Packages section has no listed packages.
