Force mod to run with incompatible version?
Hey, I was wondering what the chances would be that the mod actually fully breaks when ran with for example one of the 1.21.9 snapshots instead of just the newest officially supported version.
Can I force the mod to run with a snapshot or unsupported version just to try? (I just get a incompatible message when launching through modrinth)
I fully get that noone will make an update for each snapshot.
I tried decompiling and searching for where it checks what minecraft version its being ran on but then I noticed that I know nothing at all about java coding or how minecraft mods work.

Fabric or neoforge?
Solution
For fabric edit the fabric.mod.json and for neoforge uhhh
fabric
found it, give me a second, ""minecraft": [
"1.21.8" " this?
Now to learn how to change a value in my cool new java decompiler
but thank you
You can just unzip the mod, edit in notepad and zip it back
You can also use fabric dependency override and don't mess with the mod directly
thank you, that saves time, is fabric dependency override a feature of fabric, or another mod?
ok it crashes on startup through modrinth, with the 25w31a snapshot.
worth a try, thank you two
A feature of fabric
Yeah don't do that. New snapshot is effectively new base.
I see, I wanted to give it a try since I just died in my hardcore world and saw cool little oxidizing guys.
wow that's godda be alot of work for modders to update everything for every minor version
The recent snapshots changed a lot of things again, most rendering mods probably won't work easily
