> hacking into game jars, not because it was supported in any way, it only got support later.

decompiling java is much easier than decompiling C++ output. Adding code to such a decompiled source is much easier and safer, and thus much more accessible.

if minecraft had been in C++, i seriously doubt the initial mods from hacking it would've been possible.
