⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust (6,803 endorsements) — this is a staple for modders
Massive download count (592k) shows it's widely used and stable
Actively updated (November 2025) — you know it's not abandoned

👎 Cons

Description is vague — you'll need to dig into docs to see what it actually adds
It's a framework, not a content mod — useless unless you're making or using mods that depend on it
No explicit install instructions or dependency list — might require some trial and error
