Frequently asked questions
Is Clumps plus Lithium a problem?
Yes, on the 37 game versions that carry both, and only when the loader matches for each. 26.2 is the newest of those. They overlap in what they do, so expect two ways to reach the same result.
Which of the two is lighter to start with?
Both are rated beginner here, so the difference is in what they add, not in the climb.
Is one of them on more loaders?
Clumps builds for Forge, Fabric and NeoForge and Lithium for Fabric and Quilt. Only one of them covers Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. A jar is built per loader, so the profile you start decides what you can use.
