Getting Started with Hotai Mod

How to Use Hotai Mod

Hotai Mod patches bytecode from other mods to work with newer Minecraft versions. To use it:

1. Place your bytecode .class files into the hotai folder

2. Launch the game

3. The mod automatically processes these files

4. Original .class files are converted into .badiff files, which store only the differences between versions

This approach reduces copyright concerns by avoiding redistribution of complete bytecode. Note that Hotai can only replace bytecode classes—it cannot modify resources or other coremods. The .badiff format keeps file sizes small while preserving all necessary patch information.
