3.0.0.6. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install WATERMeDIA: Multimedia API, WATERMeDIA: Platform Extension first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 1 comes through another mod in the chain.
1 extra mod was pulled in by another dependency. Indented rows show who needs each one. We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does WATERMeDIA: Binaries add?
OVERVIEW
WATERMeDIA: Binaries is a separated JAR containing all the VLC binaires + FFMPEG binaries in one fat jar. This helps to CurseForge not get suffocated with 60MB jars and make more faster updates of the mod without concern about the size of the JAR
HOW IT WORKS
This jar contains all stuff to be considered "as a mod". On loading times it will attachs its own classloader to WATERMeDIA API to get scanned and extract binaries from it.
