LegacyCompatibilityUtils
LegacyCompatibilityUtils (abbreviated as CompatLib) is a special compatibility layer that allows running mods created for older versions of Minecraft in newer game versions. The mod restores deleted classes and SRG methods, making it possible to run most Forge 1.7.2 mods in version 1.7.10, as well as some Forge and LiteLoader version 1.8 mods in version 1.8.9.

There are several cases where the mod cannot provide compatibility:
- Coremods with
@MCVersion("x.x")annotation - Mods using obfuscated code (for example, reflection helpers or ASM)
