About this Mod

Fabric Placeholder

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

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.
