In a Play.Hosting server, playing with a forge mod doesn’t let me do anything the mod has to offer

Happy birthday, Kilt :]

As of today, Kilt was first created 3 years ago today, at <t:1672285325:S>. (yes, I know that's in like 40 minutes.) I told *very* few friends of mine that I was going to do it. Not even my best friend Storm knew I was going to do it. I only showed it off as a surprise to my close developer friends a month later, when I knew it was actually working, that it was actually viable. I was told by people that it wasn't possible, that it's been tried many times and people have failed, that it just wasn't viable. But I just felt like I *had* to do it, I *had* to know if it was possible. I don't really know why or how I managed to come so far with this project, but I did, all I know is I did it mostly out of spite but also because I've had a lot of support from friends along the way. This project has brought a lot of frustration, but it's also brought a lot of joy, and I've made friends with people that I didn't ever think I would have because of this project. It's in a state where I can genuinely be proud of how things are in now, even if there are still a lot of problems left with it. I knew people would want to use this project, who wouldn't? It's Forge mods working in Fabric, a mod of this kind has been desired for a really long time. I just didn't expect to have it as known as it is so quickly, especially considering we reached over 200 members only last year, when Kilt wasn't even officially published yet, and now we're at over 3k. I wanted to say some thanks to people: <@401828972163497994> - thank you for believing in me when I first started. you were one of the first I told about this, and you believed in me from the very beginning. You've helped carry me through the most difficult parts of this project, allowing me to just talk my problems out in your DMs whenever I needed it, even if you didn't have anything to say or had incredibly witty comments to say to lighten the mood pfft. <@299779734932291604> - Hey nerd, you brought me into this mess into the first place, introducing me to Fabric modding and allowing me to actually get good at coding pfft. I remember your surprise from first seeing the fact that I even had this working back then. Thank you. <@317814254336081930> - Thanks for being the resident beta tester when I'm too frustrated or tired to deal with it, and for helping to document a lot of Kilt in its docs. You were one of the earliest people to join this server, I don't know how you got here so early but I'm glad you did. <@942533628435501076> - Thanks for letting me steal the devOS maven repo for Kilt's library forks :D, but also thank you for believing in me too, as one of the few early Kilt believers. <@239958177343340545> - You're one of the main devs behind Porting Lib. I never would have believed this was even remotely possible had Porting Lib never existed, had I not tried porting some mods previously to Fabric on my own using that library. Thank you for even deciding to help out with Kilt in the first place. To **[REDACTED]**, who isn't here for many, many good reasons - Despite everything you've done, thank you for initiating that spark in the first place. You're not here anymore for very good reason, but you were the one who initiated it in the first place. To all the contributors - Thank you for contributing your time and effort in making Kilt better in many places where I couldn't even figure it out properly myself, thank you. And to all of you - thank you for believing in this project, no matter when you came in, no matter whether you're using it now or not at all, whether you donated or not, even if you're only here to see where this project goes, thank you. --- This project will continue to go on, 1.21.1 will come soon... eventually..... and then after that, I can start working on 26.1, since apparently that's probably going to be the next LTS that mod devs will be using, I hope. 26.1 looks so much nicer to make Kilt for than 1.21.1. <@&1117923409687490571>

We are aware of an issue with Kilt where it is getting flagged by antivirus providers. (Kilt, Knit Loader, ASMFabricLoader, net\_lenni0451\_reflect) Unfortunately, we cannot do anything about this. I can however assure you that Kilt is safe, and if you're extra paranoid, you can also search for the source code repositories for Kilt, our fork of ASMFabricLoader, Knit Loader, and Lenni0451's Reflect and ClassTransform libraries. For the time being, try to report and mark any antivirus flags for these libraries as false positives in your antivirus software to try to make sure it gets marked off the list. <@&1117923409687490571>
