Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Automatically generate missing item asset files for mods to ensure compatibility with Minecraft 1.21.4+

Starting from Minecraft 1.21.4, mods are required to include the assets/(modid)/items folder with specific item asset JSON files. However, many existing mods only have assets/(modid)/models/item/ assets and don't provide the new required files, causing compatibility issues.

This mod automatically generates and loads the necessary items assets at runtime, allowing older mods to work without manual asset updates.

Ideal for mod developers or pack creators who want to maintain compatibility with 1.21.4+ without rewriting assets.
