Backport to 17w46a

[Bixilon]

I am writing my own minecraft client, that supports multiprotocol. My client supports all versions up from 13w42b. Because of the "flattening update" (17w47a), I load for every newer version a json file, that my other project ("PixLyzer") generates.

Current yarn mappings are available from 18w43b. This is a version between 1.13.2 and 1.14. I still want to support these ~50 versions. I'd like to mainly focus on the major versions (1.13.2, 1.13.1, 1.13) and the last non flattened version 17w46a. The old "codebase" is pretty old and I am asking you how I should approach this.

I already saw https://fabricmc.net/wiki/tutorial:updating_yarn and #1826 but it looks like, it only applies to old versions. Because yarn is using branch hell, I need to know from what branch I should start.

Thanks for any advice, help or suggestions

You can make intermediary for that version, but making yarn for it makes no sense unless you plan to mod it yourself. I would start from the 18w43b branch as that will have the least changes from 1.13. however i don't know why you plan on supporting 1.13 when almost everyone who uses 1.13 has upgraded to more recent versions

Yah, idk either. Kind of a proof of concept, that was the goal for my project, In retrospect it was pretty dumb idea, but I still want to fullfill my goals. But 1.13 is less important, than 17w46a is more important, because it is the required version for 1.8 and 1.12 (and these are still in use)

This is not something we have the time to handle. There is more than enough stuff that keeps me busy on the latest versions. You are free to look into doing it yourself however, all of the tools are freely available.

This wiki page is a good place to start.

Also don't have much time for it now, but it is a general question (for me at least). I'll try it, using the wiki page, let's see.

(Will make a PR once ready, if you are interested).

Thanks for the suggestions

I dont plan on accepting PRs for older version at the moment. Sorry.
