Intro:

Today we release our fourth recommended build for 1.20.1. It's been over a year since the release of 1.20.1, and Forge 47 has continued to receive several updates that keep it in a good state. This new build of contains a handful of backported convenience features for modders, but also contains many cleanups, bugfixes, and performance improvements as well.

As the 1.21 lifecycle of Minecraft continues to stabilize, we will continue to maintain active support for the 1.20 versions of the game as described by our tiered support system. This means that until Minecraft 1.22 is released, we will continue to make 1.20 a target for backports, bug fixes, and applicable new features.
