Quick answer
Which Highlighter release should I use?
Highlighter 1.5 targets 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2 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 Highlighter 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 Highlighter 1.5 need?
1.5. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), Mod Menu, Fabric API, Text Placeholder API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup. 2 come through another mod in the chain.
2 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.
