Fabric NeoForge Beta
Released: April 2025
Minecraft 1.21.3, 1.21.4, 1.21.5

Latest Release - Enhanced Compatibility

Beta Release Notice: This release is marked as Beta due to performance regressions introduced in Minecraft 1.21.5 that our team is still investigating. We recommend that players use an older, more stable version of Minecraft if performance is important.

🔧 Improvements

  • Improved compatibility with some NeoForge mods that use the Fabric Rendering API
  • Improved compatibility with some Fabric mods when they're used on NeoForge with Sinytra Connector
  • Fixed an incompatibility with Snow Real Magic! and some other mods that would cause holes to appear in the world
  • Fixed an issue with mods that use animated sprites in the user interface which was causing their sprites to not be animated

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Disabled the use of certain developer options in production which were being modified unnecessarily by other mods
  • Marked PoplyLauncher as incompatible due to multiple severe and unresolved issues
  • Marked BetterEnd as incompatible due to it enabling code when Sodium is present that causes frequent and difficult to understand crashes

⚡ Performance Notes

  • Added a warning for when resource packs try to replace the shaders used by Sodium's improved cloud renderer
