Quick answer
Which Legacy Skins release should I use?

Where it goes
Is Legacy Skins required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does Legacy Skins [1.20.1] 1.6.5 for Fabric need?
[1.20.1] 1.6.5 for Fabric. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API, Customizable Player Models, Legacy4J, Factory API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match. 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.
