Why is it scrambled? To keep people from copying it?
Yes. Common practice to hide your code from the user, or potential rivals. I think they’ve been obfuscating the whole time, even back in Notch days.
It was kinda pointless in this case, and was the reason why mod updates were slow between versions, even for simple mods.






I’m using Ting right now. Cheapest plan is $10 + 5 per gig. I stay on wifi mostly, so that’s fine for me, but there is an unlimited plan for 25. I switched to it because Google Fi had terrible service in my area. However, both services only lease access to the towers, and which towers they connect to has changed over the years, so YMMV.
