YOU DON'T NEED THIS MOD ON VERSIONS BEFORE MINECRAFT 1.17.1
What is this?
Abstraction Layer (but not really)™ for Blay's multiplatform mods. This is a library mod, it does not add anything on its own.
I do not recommend other modders to build on this as I will ruthlessly break backwards-compatibility as needed for my mods.
This is a trial run for supporting both Forge and Fabric on my mods, so currently only a few mods depend on this.
If supporting both platforms ends up being viable the rest of my mods will follow.
Note that this is not a magic solution for running Forge and Fabric mods together, it's only a library my mods will depend on to make publishing for both versions easier.
Why is this?
I can't just switch to Fabric and abandon all existing Forge users, but I also don't want to miss a Fabric train if there is one.
Trying a port for fun showed that most of the platform-specific things can easily be hidden away from the actual mod code which doesn't have to care about modloader backends, which should hopefully make it much easier to support both mods at the same time.
There's other libraries that do the same thing, but given the amount of mods I maintain I don't want to put all my money on one boat only to deal with headaches once those other mods stop being supported.
How does this?
It just wraps all platform-specific code behind a unified API (in the simplest way possible, there is no magic involved) and provides superclasses to use in cases where platform-specific methods are added to Vanilla classes.
It also adds a simple network system (similar to Forge's) and a config layer with sync support. For Fabric it depends on Cloth Config, for Forge it uses the default Forge config system in the backend.
Who is this?
Hi, I'm Blay and my Twitter is at @BlayTheNinth.
i want to download trashslot and my version is 1.16.5 trashslot needs balt but balm not 1.16.5

Just if your mods have updated you probably need a new version of forge. FORGE IS BACK-COMPATIBLE, NOT FUTURE PROOF. So this is usually the issue I see again and again lol.
i know it doesnt have to do anything with the mod but i think every mod on curseforge should have these mod banners that you can click and brings you to the right other component (sorry if my english isnt good im german)
anyone balm mod crashing their client for 1.18?
plis 1.16.5
So am just going straight to the point
Please make a 1.16.5 or any 1.16 version for this mod
Because like i wanna add waystones to my (private) smp and i need this mod BUT the problem is that the server is for 1.16.5 and this mod is for 1.17.1 so could you please make this mod also for 1.16.5 or any 1.16 version
(Obviously it's okay if you can't because of the code and that kind of stuff or just because it's too hard to make it for 1.16 and yes i know it says "This mod is obviously only required for Minecraft 1.17+, " But seriously it can help alot of people if you can also add older versions of this mod)
In reply to outersans123:
if you know it says "this mod is only required for Minecraft 1.17", why would you need this mod for 1.16.5?
In reply to BlayTheNinth:
because i need it to use waypoints mod on 1.16.5 i said that in my comment already
In reply to outersans123:
what about "this mod is only required for Minecraft 1.17" is so hard to understand
i think they mean that you dont need it for earlier versions, only the 1.17 versions of the mods that need this actually need this. although it would make sense if instead of it saying "this mod requires balm" mod pages should say "1.17 versions of this mod require balm"
In reply to outersans123:
you need this mod for 1.17+ only :/
hollup. why does a mod with the latest version of 1.16.5 require balm, which has the earliest version of 1.17?? mod is Client Tweaks
In reply to majiboy:
Client Tweaks is out for 1.17...
Why would this be happening?
In reply to swiftyjtv:
Forge version too old
In reply to BlayTheNinth:
I'm getting this same error with Forge ver. 37.0.65, which is only a few months old, so it's absolutely ridiculous that it's not cooperating with it, despite being a newer mod. This is a hassle for my friends and I who like to play with several mods installed at once, one of which being Optifine which isn't yet updated to the newest Forge. We really want to use your waystones mod, but because Balm is being like this, it's not compatible with Optifine, which many of my friends and I require in order for Minecraft to run at its best, so we can't. Most of our mods don't care so long as it's 1.17.1 Forge, regardless of specific version, so it's really dumb that this mod is so particular about being a much newer version of Forge. Compatibility with "older" Forge versions would be a very welcome update in the future.

*wipes your tears* it's gonna be ok buddy
In reply to yogfan0414:
Don't expect a modder to take their time to support a mod like OptiFine that is known to be a pain to deal with. Stop using outdated software, update your forge and stop being a asshole.

I was merely trying to make a suggestion, not demanding? I apologize if it came off that way but you don't have to be a dick about it.
