Mojang announced a big change is coming to Minecraft: Java Edition, one that could make it a whole lot easier to make mods and perhaps make them more exciting.
While Minecraft has a long history of modding and there's some truly massive mods out there, the game has been using obfuscation to make it more difficult to pick it apart. Something that is quite normal in the software industry as one tool in the box to protect games. But, that's now going to change as they're completely removing the obfuscation!

Strangely Java is different from "Microsoft Java" (also known as C#)

It's short for program database. It's a compliation artefact when compiling and iirc exclusively in C#.
It's used to have more information during debugging. I don't fully know what's in there, but I assume stuff like function and variable names.

Debug file that used to ship with Bedrock Dedicated Server until a year ago, helped with server debugging and such. Didn't affect official mods replacement of "addons" just the server software.

Lol for bedcoin? Having hope for badcoin to become an actual Minecraft installation nowadays is insane.
It's just a marketing version of Minecraft meant to steal money from children.

This does not actually make it easier to make mods according to a modder friend of mine. https://notes.highlysuspect.agency/no-longer-obfuscated.html

Not a lot easier but it def help, also now we have a proper naming for variables, classes etc etc, and people will start to use the same mappings
