I don't have much of a clue of java coding and I am very aware about how hard it is, but as we know Azanor moved on on coding Thaumcraft (and baubles).
But, we can "remake" the mod, so newer versions can support it, maybe porting maybe just making it from scratch (wich would be a pain). Sure is a crazy idea from just another fan of the mod who does not have any idea of how painful is coding java. But I leave my idea here.

i'm in

@RibsyCC i just don't have much clue what to add to mod and when we found a finish line porting mod for other versions

Im in too. still checking baubles's code. I suppose i can update it into a newer version.

yeah but this is only an API not mod itself

i can easily get models and resources but not the code

TL;DR:
If the obfuscation in the jar is not extreme, I think upgrading to newer minecraft versions should work (but be a pain for experienced modders). Adding new things or rewriting without starting from scratch might prove almost impossible.

The code is just the (obfuscated) jar, which you can decompile in intellij/eclipse easily. Afaik you should be able to edit and recompile it just fine, which means theoretically everything is possible.
However the jar is probably obfuscated, which means variable, method, and class names might be garbled in the code, making the code very hard to read and understand. Obviously the more garbling was performed, the harder it will be to work with the code and understand what it is doing. If I am not mistaken all data types should still be there, thus it should be possible to upgrade the mod by matching method headers, fixing bugs and compiling it again, although it will still be a pain.
If just the variable names are garbled it might even be possible to add new things, but it all depends on the complexity of the mod itself.
I might have a look at the jar and see if I can gather more knowledge to see whether it might be worth a shot upgrading it :)

the only public code is this repository which is only the api

I've never said public code. I mean the jar (compiled code) which you can decompile (transform from machine readable 0's and 1's to human readable program code text) and maybe get not completely gibberish source code wot work with.

i'm trying recreate the mod actually

this is really cool! Do you have a repository or something people can collaborate on? I would be willing to help after I'm done with fixing another mod :)

I learned that the CoFH team has been working on the redesign of the mod for over a year. Therefore, there is no point in trying to recreate the mod again. This is engaged other developers who have an agreement from the author of mod.

i'm working on baubles api for minecraft 1.16.5, you can check here.
i'm actually trying make a mod to test it but i'm not having much time

@Felicis i cam send you deofuscated code but you'll have to migrate to the new forgen API
