# What's New in SwitchCraft 3

SwitchCraft 3 has been rebuilt from the ground up for Minecraft 1.20.1 with the Fabric mod loader. Every custom mod and plugin has been rewritten, and most other plugins have also been rewritten from scratch, to reduce the dependency on third party code. This gives us much better control over the game and allows us to make changes and bugfixes much more quickly.

Here is a high level overview of what to expect in SwitchCraft 3:
