Jack PapelTeam03:23
What's the fabric API version?
SweetSpot03:23

uhhh
Jack PapelTeam03:24
What fabric API version are you using
SweetSpot03:24
0.12.5
the mods folder has aether, and lithium in it(edited)
AzzyypaarasTeam03:25
...that is not the fabric api
you only have the fabric loader installed
SweetSpot03:25
this is for the server btw
Jack PapelTeam03:25
You need to install fabric API
SweetSpot03:25
ohhh
Jack PapelTeam03:25
I'll send the Curseforge link

SweetSpot03:26

I swear to Eir I am going to slap player and friends for deciding to split out FAPI from FLoader
SweetSpot03:44
THE SERVER IS UP!
thanks guys, stream can commence!
until one of us idiots breaks something

Replying toAzzyypaarasI swear to Eir I am going to slap player and friends for deciding to split out FAPI from…
no don't slap whoever decided to name FAPI "fabric" instead of "fabric-api"
combined loader + API leads to Froge
KyrptonaughtTeam04:52
Yeah the issue isn’t really the splitting of the two, it’s the poorly worded error message
The error message says “fabric” not found, the user thinks oh wait I did install that something with the mod is broke. Then reports it to the mod dev
The error should say, something along the lines of the seperate mod “Fabric Api” is not installed, this is different than the fabric loader you installed and can be found here: link
FwuffyPetsOwO~05:08
well, when a mod depends on like, geckolib, fabric loader says: "mod x requires mod geckolib, which is missing"
the equivalent for FAPI is "mod x requires mod fabric, which is missing"
but obviously they are using fabric anyway so
people get really confused
quite honestly, asking the mod devs is perfectly reasonable because the message looks like the mod has broken Fabric entirely
AzzyypaarasTeam05:30
Replying toFwuffyPetsOwO~quite honestly, asking the mod devs is perfectly reasonable because the message looks…
Oh, it is reasonable, but it should not be
FwuffyPetsOwO~05:31
yes - my point is, the problem is not separation of loader and FAPI, the problem is that some idiot decided the internal name of FAPI to be "fabric" instead of "fabric-api"
AzzyypaarasTeam05:31
Out of all things, making an easy to understand and informative error message should be a thing after, what? Three, four years of fabric?
FwuffyPetsOwO~05:34
hey should I pr
literally just a change in mod.json
to rename the internal of FAPI to "fabric-api"
I'd probably get banned from Fabricord for doing that lol
