Fake Fabric API

Note: This is a technical mod that does NOT replace Fabric API.

Before installing this mod, be sure to install Fabric API.

If you're playing Minecraft version 1.19.2 or newer, you might not need this mod.

You don't need to understand the technical details below - simply install this mod if it's required or if you receive a notification to install fake-fabric-api.

Why is this mod needed?

Starting with Fabric API version 0.59.0+1.19.2, the mod ID of Fabric API was changed from fabric to fabric-api, while still maintaining access to the old fabric ID. This change was made to help Fabric newcomers who often got confused when receiving the "fabric is not installed" error.

However, this change only applies to versions 1.19.2 and above, meaning players on versions below 1.19.1 may continue to experience confusion.

What does this mod do?

The only function of this mod is to provide the mod ID fabric-api. It's important to note that this mod cannot function without Fabric API installed.

Important note: This mod conflicts with Fabric API / Quilted Fabric API based on MC-1.19.2, as they already provide the fabric-api identifier.

Guide for mod developers

For mods running below version 1.19.1

If your mod depends on Fabric API and runs on versions below 1.19.1, set dependencies as both fake-fabric-api: * AND fabric-api, but do not set dependency on fabric. This will help avoid confusion for players.

For mods running on versions <1.19.2 and ≥1.19.2

If your mod depends on Fabric API and runs on both versions below 1.19.2 and 1.19.2 and above, set dependency only on fabric-api, since fake-fabric-api does not work on versions above 1.19.2.

For Quilt mods

If your mod is created for Quilt, directly set dependency on quilted_fabric_api - you might not need this mod at all.
