This mod does not require the Legacy Fabric API, but it is recommended you have the Resource Loader and Crash Report Info parts of the API installed.
Legacy VanillaFix
A port of Runemoro's VanillaFix to Legacy Fabric with a few extras
Features:
Better Crashes: Minecraft will no longer fully crash, but rather will redirect you to a menu where you can choose to:
- Go back to the main menu
- Upload the crash report to a paste website
Catch crashes during startup: Minecraft will still start even if a fatal error was thrown by a mod, unfortunately you can't play, but a menu will tell you which mod caused the crash.

Particle culling
The ability to open GUIs in nether portals
Disable loading spawn chunks for faster load times
Thirdperson camera passes throught non-solid objects
