The talents of the modding community run laps around the core game devs. Unironically the best thing that could happen for Minecraft is if everyone moved to something like minetest and started making mods for it instead.

Tbh I'd prefer if the core game just stopped updating so that mods can all keep to one version of the game.

But minetest already has feature parity with Minecraft, runs significantly faster, and is free and libre (which makes it significantly easier to write mods for). If you want to log into a server running a set of mods you just put the URL in and minetest fetches and installs the mods for you automatically. Instead of fighting the core devs, the mod devs could work with them.
