Fabric Placeholder

Fabric Placeholder

A placeholder mod that provides the `fabric` mod ID for older mods.

MALWARE WARNING

There is a vibe-coded version of this mod going around that downloads and runs a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). The impersonation has the mod ID `fabric-placeholder` along with code whereas this mod is called `fabric-ph` and has no code in it.

Do not run mods or modpacks from people who you do not absolutely trust, and be sure not to download anything off of Discord either.

Do I need this?

Probably not. Fabric API only removed the `fabirc` mod ID in `26.1-snapshot-1`, so mods using this mod ID will need to be recompiled anyway. However, if a mod asks you to add `fabric` on 26.1 or later, you can try using this mod to resolve the error. However, it very likely won't work. I mostly made this as a joke in the Fabric Voice Chat, so if this actually works for something, please ping @sylv256 in the Fabric Discord server because it would be extremely funny.

Use Case

You may need this if you're using simpler mods that support many versions at once within one jar or simply a mod that hasn't updated to using the `fabric-api` mod ID as a dependency.

~~In general, it is better to install this mod than not, especially if a mod requires `fabric` and you have Fabric API installed.~~
