This fork exists partly to fix critical bugs from the original base project, so that ported mods stay stable. It also adds systems the original lacked, such as custom models and block render layers. If a ported mod crashes or looks wrong, use these steps to narrow down the cause.
Rendering problems
The library supplies the Fabric Renderer API, Indigo, Fabric Rendering, Fabric Models and Block Render Layers. A ported mod may rely on these for effects like translucent or cutout blocks and custom block models.
1. Missing or broken textures. Make sure ForgedAPI Fork Mod is installed on your client, not only on the server.
2. Turn off shaders to test. Shader loaders such as Iris or OptiFine change how the game draws blocks. Disable your shader pack and reload the world. If the glitch disappears, the conflict is between the shader setup and the ported mod's rendering.
3. Remove resource packs temporarily. Take them out of the active list in the Resource Packs menu to rule out texture or model overrides.
Crashes and stability
1. Check what the requiring mod expects. A ported mod may need this fork specifically rather than the original base project. Read the requiring mod's description and install the library it names.
2. Read the crash report. Open the crash-reports folder in your game directory. Look for the names of the ported mod or this library in the report.
3. Isolate the problem. Back up your world, then remove other mods in small batches until the crash stops. This tells you which mod is involved.
