Minecraft 1.21.9 update.

There a lot of performance improvements related to events.
  No more InheritableEvent for abstract events that you shouldn't add listeners to anyway, like EntityEvent. Use their sub-events.
  Made a lot more events records and interfaces. Mostly just a binary break, but has better performance.
  Mod bus posting methods are now static, no more ModLoader.get() for those.

ObjectHolder was removed, use RegistryObject.
Changed RuntimeEnumExtender to only target Minecraft classes. If you want other modders to interact with your API, use an Interface instead of Enum.
Moved some abstract event methods to only the relevant sub-events now, e.g. can no longer check the side of a ClientTickEvent, because it'll always be client

Rendering has changed a lot, they now batch most things together so that the game will render faster.
RenderHighlightEvent changed a lot

See https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge-Experimental/tree/1.21.9-dev for unsquashed commits.

+     * Reads the Add-Exports and Add-Opens attributes (see note) from a mod file and
+     * attempts to apply them. This differers from the JEP in two significant ways:
+     *   1) Instead of opening things to ALL-UNNAMED it instead only opens to the
+     *      mod's module itself. Because I don't want other mods accidently relying
+     *      on transitive behavior
+     *   2) It is read from all mods not just the executable jars.
+     *
+     * From <a href = "https://openjdk.org/jeps/261">JEP 261: Module System</a>
+     *
+     * Two new JDK-specific JAR-file manifest attributes are defined to correspond
+     * to the --add-exports and --add-opens command-line options:
+     *     Add-Exports: &lt;module&gt;/&lt;package&gt;( &lt;module&gt;/&lt;package&gt;)*
+     *     Add-Opens: &lt;module&gt;/&lt;package&gt;( &lt;module&gt;/&lt;package&gt;)*
+     *
+     * The value of each attribute is a space-separated list of slash-separated
+     * module-name/package-name pairs. A &gt;module&lt;/&gt;package&lt; pair in
+     * the value of an Add-Exports attribute has the same meaning as the
+     * command-line option --add-exports &gt;module&lt;/&gt;package&lt;=ALL-UNNAMED.
+     *
+     * A &gt;module&lt;/&gt;package&lt; pair in the value of an Add-Opens attribute has the
+     * same meaning as the command-line option --add-opens &gt;module&lt;/&gt;package&lt;=ALL-UNNAMED.
+     *
+     * Each attribute can occur at most once, in the main section of a MANIFEST.MF file.
+     * A particular pair can be listed more than once. If a specified module was not
+     * resolved, or if a specified package does not exist, then the corresponding pair
+     * is ignored.
