I'm not seeing many new mods for 1.7.10 anymore, so is it dead?

Considering 1.7.10 is nearing 3 years old, it's safe to say it's dead, even from a modding standpoint. Most mods have been updated to 1.10.2 or newer.

"most mods" you mean some of the big ones? FRom a modding standpoint, 1.8 and up is awful.

From what I remember, 1.8 made some changes that made updating to it more difficult. However, since then it's been comparatively simple to keep updated.
Why haven't some big mod developers updated past 1.7.10? They simply don't want to make any major changes to their code to make it work with newer versions. This I find rather self-centered, since they are refusing to "get with the times" because they don't want to do much recoding.

Why would you even want to stay on track with the new versions if mahjong doesn't even add anything significant? We got new rocks (which we already had & backported again) new mobs (we we already had, ours even were better) new combat changes (which many people don't even like) and decorative blocks. Wow. Let's spend many hours of boring and tedious work so we can finally enjoy new rocks!

There are a lot of API changes from 1.7.10 - 1.8. Updating it would be a pain. Its not really being self centered. One major change was using json files for models and such. That really is a pain. I tried it but decided to stick with 1.7.10.

MC 1.0 is easier to texture aswell, does this mean that texture pack artist should drop support for all newer versions because its hard?
Ill answer this for you. NO
You evolve with the times, you upgrade with the game versions, if you dont, you are either lazy or busy. But if you have time to update 1.7 versions then you have time to upgrade to 1.10 or 1.12 even. My point is, having your mod 1.7 only is just bad, there is no real reason behind it except devs being lazy.

Texturepacks are easy compared to mods which make them no effort to update. Mods are a different story....
Theres actual coding in mods... Texture packs are just textures and maybe a few models... Modding is another story, Not every modder has 24 hours a day to do coding and updates... It could also be that 1.8+ are just awful and not worth there limited time. Just cause its not up to your new "Favorite" Version doesn't make it bad.
