fabric-loader VS MultiLoader-Template

Btw what you could've done to find a Fabric Loader version by date is just scroll the GitHub releases. I imagine you would've had the date of when you created the pack from the dates of the mod files.

I'm not too familiar with the fabric system and I was hoping someone could help me with modifying the fabric loader, mod loading in specific. I am trying to let the loader get mods from multiple directories, rather than just the /mods directory. I have modified and built a jar from this link https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-loader

Go look at the GitHub if you want

Request for this feature was rejected by Fabric team in 2020. (https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-loader/issues/181)

I wrote a bug report, and at the end included my lengthy solution to the problem. https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-loader/issues/647

How about a git commit? https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-loader/commit/7f8086f2bfe8e8f75c9a319ccd7f2be40be1265e

FabricLoader.getAllMods().

Since Fabric Loader 0.11.0, added with this commit: https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-loader/commit/5cd3b1b1bd3f12525bc5245a6edaeb657c146ebe

The two main ways I know of are "Multiloader-Template style" and "using Architectury-Loom". Archloom is a big Gradle plugin that tries to do everything for you, multiloader-template is less of a software package and more of a code style. I'm not familiar with archloom but i've written a bunch of mods with the multiloader-template style.

This mod wouldn't be possible without Statement Library, which does all the heavy lifting (that said, it is required on both server and client). Also thanks to Jaredlll08 and Darkhax for creating Multiloader Template!

As a developer I want as many players to enjoy my work as possible, that's why I prefer both and have worked on tools to make it easier for developers to release for both.

Regardless of what you choose, If you do want to support both down the line there is a template by Darkhax, jaredlll08 and a few others which makes compiling for both easier by having a common source https://github.com/jaredlll08/MultiLoader-Template

It's the end of the world as we know it.

You can clone https://github.com/jaredlll08/MultiLoader-Template and see how it works, I know that ForgeGradle fixed a bug they had with multiproject configurations, but I'm not sure if any of the other problems are solved.
