Support for injection into static interface methods

[Siphalor]

So I'm in a situation where I mixin to an interface.
I'd like to @Inject into a public static method but I can't because the system wants my injection method to be private|protected static but this is not possible for interface methods.

Theoretically there shouldn't be a huge difference between static methods on classes and interfaces.

Sorry for slow reply, I've been away at an event.

Ah I see, yes. The restriction is basically there to stop people adding public static members to mixins because under normal circumstances there would be no way to invoke them. However this restriction could be removed in both of the following cirumstances:

• The mixin is an interface mixin and the method is decorated with an injector annotation (your scenario)
• The mixin is an Accessor Mixin, which are in fact loadable and can be referenced by userland code (and other mixin code)

Will relax this restriction and consider it enhancement.

Personal take on the former, but probably deeper and scarier refactors are required for the latter: FabricMC#13
