Frequently asked questions

Do I need ForgedFabric API Mod to play Minecraft?
No. ForgedFabric API Mod is only required if you're using mods that were ported from Fabric to Forge and specifically list it as a dependency. If a mod you want to play requires it, the mod's description or installation guide will tell you.
What's the difference between installing this on client vs server?
ForgedFabric API Mod must be installed on both your client and your server if you're playing multiplayer with ported mods. If it's only on one side, the ported mods won't load correctly and you'll see errors.
I installed ForgedFabric but my ported mod still won't load. What do I do?
Check that ForgedFabric API Mod is in your mods folder alongside the ported mod, then restart the game completely. If it still fails, check your launcher log for errors mentioning missing dependencies or version mismatches with Forge itself.
Can I use ForgedFabric mods and regular Forge mods together?
Yes. ForgedFabric API Mod allows ported Fabric mods to run alongside normal Forge mods without conflict. Just place all mod files in your mods folder and launch normally.
