Where it goes
Is VB: Equipment Complement 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 VB: Equipment Complement equipment_complement-1.1.1.jar need?
equipment_complement-1.1.1.jar. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Vanilla Backport, Platform, Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match. 5 come through another mod in the chain.
5 extra mods were pulled in by other dependencies. 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.
