Ward
A testing framework for Minecraft datapacks using mcfunction.
Quick answer
Which Ward release should I use?
Ward 1.0.0+26.2 targets 26.2 with Fabric. Do not install it on the client. It must be installed on the dedicated server. All 1 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Ward required on the client, server, or both?
Do not install it on the client. It must be installed on the dedicated server.
This file is marked server-only.
What else does Ward 1.0.0+26.2 need?
1.0.0+26.2. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.
