How hard is to update a mod once minetest gets an update?

[ph8jPf9M]

Did you have a hard time to update your mod to make it compatible with the latest minetest version? i have seen many minecraft mods been slacking to upgrade to the latest minecraft version. Is it easier to update a mod in minetest than it is on minecraft or are they both same in that matter?

Most of the mods don't need any changes when Minetest updates. The engine maintains great backward compatibility. I've found mods that are years old and still work just fine. Often the only reason to update a mod would be to take advantage of some new feature the engine offers.

99.9% of the time you won't need to do anything.

Sometimes things have changed subtly in the API between versions - especially with mapgen mods - but it's rare for mods to completely break.
