Quick answer
Which Better Hitboxes release should I use?
Better Hitboxes 1.0+1.21.8 targets 1.21.8 with Fabric. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Better Hitboxes 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 Better Hitboxes 1.0+1.21.8 need?
1.0+1.21.8. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), Fabric API, Mod Menu, Text Placeholder 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.
