Better Compatibility Checker
Changes the default server compatibility check to compare modpack versions
Quick answer
Which Better Compatibility Checker release matches 1.21.4 Fabric?
Better Compatibility Checker 21.3.1 targets 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5 with Fabric. Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Better Compatibility Checker required on the client, server, or both?
Installation on the client is optional. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
The source marks this as usable on both the client and server.
What else does Better Compatibility Checker 21.3.1 need?
21.3.1 on 1.21.4 Fabric. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Forge Config API Port, Fabric 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.

About this project
What does Better Compatibility Checker add?
The forge server compatibility checker is not always accurate and can cause some issues with end-users of a modpack when they add a server, and it shows up as not compatible.
This mod fixes that issue when used by modpacks, as it will compare the modpack project ID and the modpack version ID set in a config file by the modpack author and display a tick if they match or an X if they do not match.
Both server and client are running the same version
Incompatible server or client version
How do I configure the mod?
It's simple to configure the mod, first, you will need to open the bcc-common.toml in the config folder, then you will need to set the modpack name and the modpack version, click save, and you're done.
Just remember to update the version when you update the modpack.
Note: Fabric config is named bcc.json
What happens if the mod is not installed on the server, but is on the client?
This mod will check if the data needed is set first and if it's not it will fall back to using the default forge implementation
