Forgified Fabric API Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does Forgified Fabric API actually do for me as a player?
It's a library mod, so it doesn't add content on its own. It lets Fabric-based mods run on NeoForge by providing the shared code they depend on, so you install it once and the mods that need it start working.
Do I need to install Fabric API too, or just Forgified Fabric API?
Just Forgified 
Fabric API on NeoForge. Installing the original Fabric API alongside it on NeoForge is a common mistake that causes duplicate classes and crashes.

Install Forgified Fabric API and make sure it loads before the dependent mod. If the mod still complains, it may use Fabric-only hooks that weren't ported, so check the mod's own page for NeoForge support.

Check your mod list in-game or in the logs for the Forgified Fabric API entry. If dependent mods launch without a missing-dependency error, it's doing its job.

It's a lightweight library and generally has minimal performance impact on its own. Any slowdown usually comes from the mods using it, not the API itself.
Does it work with optimization mods like Sodium or Iris?
Its rendering API is designed to be compatible with optimization and graphics mods. If you hit visual glitches, check whether the specific rendering mod supports the Fabric API rendering path on NeoForge.

Yes, Forgified Fabric API is what makes many Fabric mods loadable on a NeoForge server. Install it server-side along with the Fabric mods you want, and confirm each mod doesn't rely on unported Fabric features.

It adds extra context to crash reports so you can see which mod and which API call failed. Read the enhanced section to identify the culprit mod rather than blaming the API itself.
Why do some Fabric mods still crash even with Forgified Fabric API installed?
Not every Fabric API module is ported, and some mods use loader-specific behavior that can't be shimmed. If a mod crashes on a Fabric-only hook, it likely needs a native NeoForge build.

No. It only matters when a mod depends on Fabric API. If nothing in your mod list requires it, you can leave it out without any effect.
