Q: It gives me an outdated Java error or warning and my game still crashes or show warnings even if I updated it.
A: A minimum of java 1.8.0_201 is required to suppress the error or warning, java 11.0.9 or above is recommended, and whatever game launcher you are using you must let it use the java you updated rathen than the built-in one or auto-download one. (Since 2.4.4, it will show a warning rather than crashing game, if you don't want to see the warning, change /config/forge-client.toml)

Q: Is this mod a client-only mod? Do I need to install it on the server?
A: If you only want to use the mod's own client features, it doesn't need to be installed on the server side. However, if there are other dependent mods installed on server and this mod is not installed on server, most features are not available. So this mod can be installed only on the client side or only on the server side, but generally needs to be installed on the both side.

Q: Will there be a Fabric version or other versions?
A: No. It's hard to maintain Fabric version since it's a lightweighted API. Subject to release license, you can't keep any other release versions compared to this official one without my explicit permission.

Q: Could I use this mod as a library to develop my own mod and release it?
A: Yes. But for the time being, I would not recommend you to do so, it's under development now.

Q: Will there be a backport to 1.12.2 or older version?
A: No. They are obsolete.
