 By changing the mappings in your development environment, you can expect that names of classes, methods and fields in Minecraft and any included mods have changed, and that your code might have to be updated to reference the changed names. [[tutorial:migratemappings|This process can be partially automated]]. You will also have to run ''genSources'' to access Minecraft sources with the updated mappings.
-Loom's ''remapJar'' task will produce the primary mod artifact, which is a built jar using intermediary names. Additionally, if a ''sourcesJar'' task is present, ''remapSourcesJar'' will produce a sources jar using intermediary names. These jars can be installed as mods or included in a development environment with the ''modCompile'' dependency configuration.
+Loom's ''remapJar'' task will produce the primary mod artifact, which is a built jar using intermediary names. However it does not perform testing or validation, ''build'' should always be used to produce JARs for end user use. Additionally, if a ''sourcesJar'' task is present, ''remapSourcesJar'' will produce a sources jar using intermediary names. These jars can be installed as mods or included in a development environment with the ''modCompile'' dependency configuration.
   * **The '-dev' jar (the ''jar'' task output) does not use intermediary names, and is therefore not useful.** It cannot be installed as a mod outside a development environment and will only work in a development environment with matching mappings. The regular jar (the ''remapJar'' task output) should be used instead and installed in development environments using mod-augmented dependency configurations like ''modCompile''.

 ==== Remapping ====
-Remapping is the process of applying mappings to code, transforming from one set of names to another. Both Java source code and compiled Java code can be remapped. It involves changing the names of references according to the mappings, as well as carefully renaming methods to preserve overrides. It does not change what the code does, although it will affect names used in reflection.

 [[https://github.com/FabricMC/tiny-remapper|Tiny Remapper]] is a tool that can remap compiled Java code. It has a command line interface as well as a programmable interface. Loom uses Tiny Remapper for a number of tasks, and Fabric Loader uses Tiny Remapper to remap the Minecraft code to intermediary. Loom is also capable of remapping Java source code.
