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.
Light weight mod that adds Pig Iron, a new ore, found in the nether that acts like nether gold, it drops a random amount of iron nuggets (up to 12) to make the nether a more self-sufficient ecosystem.
