Quick answer
Which Balm release matches 1.19.1?
balm-fabric-1.19.2-4.6.0.jar targets 1.19.1, 1.19.2, 1.19 with Fabric. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the client. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Balm required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether it belongs on the client. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the dedicated server.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does balm-fabric-1.19.2-4.6.0.jar need?
balm-fabric-1.19.2-4.6.0.jar on 1.19.1. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Cloth Config API (Fabric/Forge/NeoForge), Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Balm add?
Balm is a library mod for mod developers that simplifies the process of creating multi-loader mods by providing common interfaces and events and removing the need for most mod-loader specific code.
It is not a magic solution for running Forge and Fabric mods together. As a user, you only need to install this mod if you use a mod that requires it.
Versions for Minecraft 1.16 and below are not needed - mods will run without Balm on those versions!
