| The new opportunities presented a new problem though: with the new way of hooking into the game, only one [[tweak]] was possible at a time. To overcome this limitation, [[people:cpw]], the author of [[fml|Forge ModLoader]], and myself worked together to agree a mutual standard where whichever [[tweak]] was loaded first would agree to load the other, using a standard we termed 'cascading'. [[people:Risugami]], who refused to embrace the new technology, and who by this point was maintaining his own [[ModLoader]] seemingly at arms'-length and with considerable disinterest, stuck with the old form of jar modding, which only worked to further cement [[ModLoader]]'s growing irrelevance. | The new opportunities presented a new problem though: with the new way of hooking into the game, only one [[tweak]] was possible at a time.

| With the arrival of the Minecraft 1.7 update, [[FML]] managed to divest itself of its [[ModLoader]] backward-compatibility roots, and proved to be the final nail in [[ModLoader]]'s coffin, with [[people:Risugami]] opting not to update. This left [[FML]] and **LiteLoader** as the remaining active **ModSystems**, with both systems honouring the implicit [[info:modsystem:contract|ModSystem Contract]] which [[people:cpw]] and I came to agree upon. | With the arrival of the Minecraft 1.7 update, [[FML]] managed to divest itself of its [[ModLoader]] backward-compatibility roots, and proved to be the final nail in [[ModLoader]]'s coffin, with [[people:Risugami]] opting not to update.
