Bad Packets Mod is a technical mod created by badasintended. It improves the compatibility between the client and server when different versions of a supported mod are installed. By itself, the mod does nothing and should only be used alongside another mod that specifically requires it for installation.
Features:
- Allows mods using Bad Packets to send packets between different modding platforms.
- Mod developers can use its API to enable compatibility between Fabric and Forge versions of their mods.
- It does not automatically make all mods compatible across platforms-developers must integrate its API.
- Works with various modding frameworks, including Architectury.
