Description from the author on Modrinth

faux

This mod (java agent) mutes Fabric/NeoForge dependencies by scanning the mods folder, looking for dependency relations, and generating an inverse dependency override file.
This does not create any compatibility with any mods beyond removing the initial loader crash.

Usages

  • Testing mods on different Minecraft versions (e.g. 26.2 -> 26.3)
  • Using mods with stubborn dependencies (e.g. replacing a certain Fabric API version)
  • Swapping/aliasing mods with the same effective functionality (e.g. legacy-lwjgl3 vs pylon)
  • Dealing with changing mod id's (e.g. lumen -> lenis -> pylon [codih])

Installation

To use this mod properly, install it as a Java Agent on a Fabric/NeoForge instance.
There is an entrypoint for using it as a regular mod on Fabric, however it is not recommended and may not work for normal use cases.

Unsupported

  • Dependencies from Jar-in-Jar
  • Bad formatting. If your mod is missing a fabric.mod.json or your custom mods path file points to mystery dust, do not expect error handling from me.

Dependencies

Ironic...
Fabric Loader 0.11.1+ (adds dependency overrides) -> any Minecraft version
FancyModLoader 6.0+ (adds dependency overrides) -> Minecraft 1.21.1+

How to install faux

  1. This mod runs only on your own game. Servers do not need it, so you can use it on any server.

  2. Install Fabric, Quilt and NeoForge for Minecraft 1.8 – 26.x.

  3. Download the .jar file from Modrinth and put it in the mods folder of your .minecraft directory.

  4. Start Minecraft with the Fabric profile.

  5. Easier: in Prism Launcher or the Modrinth App, search for faux in your instance's mods and click Install. It adds the loader and the mods it needs for you.
