Quick answer
Which Animalica Core release should I use?
Animalica Core 1.1.11 targets 1.22.0-pre.1, 1.22.0-pre.2, 1.22.0-pre.3. It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional. All 3 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Animalica Core required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Installation on the dedicated server is optional.
This release supports both sides, but the source does not require it on the server.
What else does Animalica Core 1.1.11 need?
1.1.11. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Player Model lib, JSON Patches lib, Overhaul lib 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.

What does Animalica Core add?
This is the boring but needed mod that makes the other parts of the pack work. This used to be just one giant pack with all of the animals shoved in, but now it's split.
There's also a config file that disables/enables traits if you don't like them. Default enabled.
I will be working on the traits of each of the packs when I get more time, as well.
