Q: Is Jaden's Nether Expansion still a Datapack/Resource Pack?
A: No, JNE has been been completely reworked into a proper mod for Forge/NeoForge
Q: When will you update to X minecraft version?
A: I will eventually but currently no ETAs.
Q: Backports?
A: No.
Q: Why was Fabric Port discontinued?
A: Managing such a massive project like JNE on both modloaders was becoming too demanding. and the Fabric API itself was lackluster and held back this mod a lot, moving forward JNE is going to be Forge/NeoForge exclusive
