Explainium is a companion mod for Embeddium that replaces its generic taint warning with clear attribution. It doesn’t change Embeddium’s detection; it improves the messages so you can see exactly which mods taint Embeddium and which classes they touch.

What It Does:

Explainium intercepts Embeddium’s taint messages and replaces them with attribution-rich output. Instead of a vague “Mod mixin into Embeddium internals detected” message, you see which mod(s) tainted Embeddium and which classes were modified. That lets compatibility mods like SuppleFix target specific mods (e.g. Supplementaries) without hiding taints from other mods.

How It Works:

Explainium uses a Log4j2 filter to intercept Embeddium’s taint logging at runtime. It suppresses the original messages and logs its own, clearer lines that include mod names and target classes. When SuppleFix is installed, it can use this info to replace Supplementaries-related taint messages with its own “managed” message.

How To Use It:

Install Explainium alongside Embeddium. It activates automatically on the client. Use the config file to enable or disable the taint explainer and debug logging if needed.
