Which Useful Machinery release should I use?
Useful Machinery [26.1] v1.0.0 targets 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 with NeoForge. The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both. All 2 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Useful Machinery 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.

[26.1] v1.0.0. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Useful Foundation, TheMCBrosLib first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 3 come through another mod in the chain.
3 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.
