[forge-dev] Plugin Backwards Compatibility

[Pete Muir]

Is there a way to automatically indicate that a command or option is deprecated e.g. you annotate the method or parameter with @Deprecated and Forge automatically prints out a warning message?

I wanted some @Option-annotated method parameters and @Command-annotated methods to be removed or deprecated, but didn't so, due to the reasons Max and Lincoln have outlined. I would suggest retaining the existing options and commands for backward compatibility, and introduce new ones if you can make them work with the existing ones.
