Quick answer
Which Sciophobia release should I use?
Sciophobia 1.2.6 targets 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 4 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Sciophobia required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Sciophobia 1.2.6 need?
1.2.6. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), Fabric API, Mod Menu, Text Placeholder API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 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.
