V8 should be the final milestone before 1.13. It should ensure that:

• All primary OTG features work, have acceptable performance and a basic level of polish.
• OTG can be used with most common mods/modpacks.
• OTG provides at least basic UX for each user group (players, mod pack creators, OTG content creators, coders).

This should ensure that OTG is a viable choice for all user groups, and that the community can continue to grow. V7 did much of the UX work for players and mod pack creators, v8 focuses on coders and content creators.

v8 will contain:

• Massive refactoring to make the project/repo accessible to coders.
• Perfomance improvements, both CPU and memory, compressed BO3's/BO4's.
• Clean up of all configs, OTG/OTG+ BO3's now split into BO3/BO4.
• Minor UX improvements (OTG-Core, improved logging, fewer crashes for wrong settings etc).
• Mod compatibility fixes.
• Fixes for remaining critical issues.
• Updating to the latest Forge mappings to prepare for 1.13.
