Extra Information

You might find some superscripted numbers around the repository. These are used to tell extra information about the mods that labels and danger levels do not apply to.

¹ The mod should work if Mixin-0-7-0-8-Compatibility is applied

² Cull Particles isn't needed anymore in newer Forge versions, as it was implemented in Forge

³ Do not blame me if you didn't read this notice. If you try to load a older world in a newer instance of the game, and you have one of these mods installed, bad things will happen, make sure to uninstall the mod first

⁴ Some of the mods that have Sodium as an incompatibility, might work if you use Indium

⁵ AI Improvements newer versions (1.14+) don't have as much impact as the older versions have, since in newer versions of Minecraft, a lot of fixes to the AI are implemented ([Sources: Curseforge page FAQ, Dev])

⁶ Halogen has issues with Forge's ExplosionEvent, see sodium-forge#33

⁷ These mods also work on 1.17.x , despite having only 1.16 and 1.18 releases in curseforge, no workarounds needed. Install them like any other mods and your fabric loader won't complain about missing dependencies
