Many versions may have bugs in one or more mods included in this modpack, and I do not have enough time to test every version thoroughly. Please report any issues so I can remove the problematic mod and replace it if possible.

Solve the issues by yourself

If there are bugs/issues and you can solve them yourself, choose some solutions:

1. Remove the mods causing the issue

2. Install its required dependencies mod (if required)

Note: Fabric loader will always open a window to report to you the issue when Minecraft crash (except when you install a mod like Crash Assistant), read them to know how to solve the problem.If you can't read crash reports from logs/mod loaders/console, copy them and send to ChatGPT or other AI, they may be able to help you

Finally, open an issue in project site on GitHub.
