Fragmentum serves as the essential lightweight core framework underpinning the Obscuria Collection of cross-platform mods. Its fundamental purpose is to streamline the development and ongoing maintenance of these mods, ensuring they function reliably and efficiently. This framework is not designed to introduce any new gameplay elements or content directly into Minecraft. Instead, it acts as a foundational structure, a vital piece of infrastructure that enables other mods within the Obscuria Collection to operate cohesively. Without Fragmentum, the intended cross-platform functionality of the Obscuria Collection mods would not be possible, making it an indispensable component for anyone utilizing this suite of modifications. This framework operates by providing a unified and optimized set of tools and functionalities that the Obscuria Collection mods leverage. It abstracts away complexities related to cross-platform compatibility, allowing developers to focus on creating unique mod features rather than reinventing the wheel for different operating systems or environments. Fragmentum modifies the underlying architecture in a way that is invisible to the end-user but critical for the performance and interoperability of the mods it supports. It ensures that the Obscuria Collection mods behave as expected, regardless of the specific platform they are running on, by managing shared resources and communication protocols efficiently. Fragmentum is compatible with a range of Minecraft versions, specifically including 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.11, and versions designated as 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.1.2. It is designed to work with multiple mod loaders, ensuring broad accessibility for players. The supported mod loaders are Fabric, Forge, NeoForged, and Quilt. Crucially, this mod is required on both the client and the server. This means that to experience the full benefits and functionality of the Obscuria Collection mods that rely on Fragmentum, players must ensure it is installed and active on their game client as well as on any server they connect to for multiplayer gameplay. To install Fragmentum, you will need to place the mod file into the appropriate mods folder for your chosen mod loader. For Fabric, Forge, NeoForged, and Quilt, this typically means navigating to your Minecraft installation directory and locating the 'mods' folder within it. If the 'mods' folder does not exist, you may need to create it. Before launching Minecraft, it is essential to verify that you have the correct version of Fragmentum installed that matches your Minecraft version and your chosen mod loader. Additionally, ensure that all other mods within the Obscuria Collection that depend on Fragmentum are also correctly installed and compatible.
