Porting Lib Mod FAQ

You don't pick modules yourself — the mod that depends on Porting Lib declares which modules it needs, and those get pulled in automatically. If a mod lists Porting Lib as a dependency, just install Porting Lib and let it handle the rest.

No. Porting Lib ships as one mod containing all its modules, so a single install covers accessors, attributes, networking, tags, transfer, and the rest. You never install modules individually.

That's expected — Porting Lib is a library and adds no blocks, items, or gameplay on its own. It only does something when another mod that depends on it is also installed and running.

The dependent mod is probably built for a different Minecraft version or loader than the Porting Lib you have. Make sure both the dependent mod and Porting Lib match your game version and loader (Fabric or Quilt).

Only if no other mod depends on it. Removing it while a dependent mod is installed will crash the game on startup, so check your mod list for anything that lists Porting Lib as a requirement first.

Yes, Porting Lib targets both Fabric and Quilt and provides Forge-style functionality to mods on either loader. Install the build that matches the loader your other mods use.

As a library, its impact comes from the mods using it rather than from Porting Lib itself. On its own it does essentially nothing, so any performance change you notice is almost always from a dependent mod.

No, one copy of Porting Lib serves every mod that depends on it. Installing it once is enough; duplicate copies will cause conflicts.

Look at the stack trace: if the failing code is inside a dependent mod but calls into Porting Lib, the dependent mod is usually at fault. Porting Lib appearing in the log doesn't automatically mean it's the culprit.

Only if that mod's Fabric or Quilt port was built to use Porting Lib. Many Forge mods have ports that don't need it, so check the port's own dependency list rather than assuming.
