Hi,
I love your mod and all the thinks what you have add to your mod. I hope you can backport all of the last versions features of your mod
Version 1.4.5 to 1.7.0 what today was come out add in a new version of 1.12.2? The Last version was the 1.2.0 for Minecraft 1.12.2 but in the last years have you so many create in this mod and I hope many Features in a new 1.12.2 to see.

I'm already busy enough keeping stuff working on "modern" versions (if you can call 1.16+ even that). 1.12 and 1.8 are horrible to develop for because of the tooling, causing problems since Forge back then didn't support Mixins and have an entirely separate codebase, meaning double the work to maintain them(you have to usually re-create everything, starting at 0). Add to that, that the versions are not that popular (600k downloads in 2 years) compared to even versions like 1.18.2, and I just don't see when I'll get around to updating any of my 1.12/8 mod versions.
