Frequently asked questions

  1. Is there much for 1.16.1?

    20 of the 117 mods documented here ship a 1.16.1 build, from 16 makers. They split as Forge 19, Fabric 16, NeoForge 16, Quilt 4.

  2. Fabric or Forge on 1.16.1?

    Forge carries the most here on 1.16.1, 19 mods. A mod is built per loader and per version, so the file has to match both. One profile runs one loader.

  3. Can I use a newer mod on 1.16.1?

    No. A jar is compiled against one game version. A build for 26.2 will not load on 1.16.1, and the other way round it fails too. The mod page names every version its maker signed off.

  4. Is the 1.16.1 download from the maker?

    15 of the 1.16.1 files sit on our own server, unchanged, with the checksum of the maker's build beside them. The rest link to the maker because his licence keeps every right with him.
