Manifest template

[Madis0]

Let's assume I have a Fabric mod that works well on Forge and I want to let users know about it.

Is there a way to have Forge-specific manifest file in the Fabric mod that'd tell them that they need this mod to use it? If so, can you make a template/tutorial of what's needed for it?

There's something I've seen Fabric modders do in this regard, and it works well with launchers, too: If you have your mod released on CurseForge or Modrinth, you can upload an additional release of your mod tagged for the Forge modloader and a dependency on Connector. For example, see Eldritch End. A complete list can be found here.

Well, you can mark the platform listings however you want, but many users use vanilla launcher, which does not enforce those requirements, nor download the dependencies for the user automatically.

This has now been implemented under the "Placeholder mods" feature. You can find all necessary information on our docs page.
