How to Turn a Fabric Mod into a Forge Mod

To turn a Fabric mod into a Forge mod in Minecraft, you can use the Sinytra Connector and the Forgified Fabric API mods. These mods allow you to use both Fabric and Forge mods together in the same game.

Here’s how to set it up:

1. Make sure you are running Forge version 47.1.3 on Minecraft 1.20.1, as these mods are designed for that specific version.
2. Install the Sinytra Connector and the Forgified Fabric API mods. You can find them on the CurseForge website.
3. Once the mods are installed, you should be able to use your Fabric mods in the Forge launcher. The mods should work seamlessly, even though the connection mode is still in beta and may not support all Fabric mods yet.

Remember that this method is not a direct conversion, but rather an integration of Fabric mods into the Forge launcher.

It’s a workaround to allow you to use both types of mods together, but it may not work perfectly for all mods, especially more complex ones.

The main differences between Fabric and Forge mods in Minecraft are:

1. Modularity: Fabric is more modular than Forge, making it easier for developers to create and update mods. Fabric allows modders to easily modify Minecraft’s game code without writing complex code.
2. Compatibility: Forge is known for its extensive library of mods and compatibility with a wide range of Minecraft versions. It is used mainly for large and game-changing mods that need significant changes to Minecraft. Forge mods are not playable through vanilla Minecraft and require their own launchers.
3. Performance: Fabric is a lightweight mod and plugin loader that allows players to run both Bedrock and Java editions of Minecraft while loading into a server running Fabric. It does not depend on the version of Minecraft you are playing, but mods can be challenging to work with each other, making Fabric limited in scope for large-scale mods and modpacks.
4. Development: Fabric was developed during Minecraft versions 1.13 and 1.14, while Forge has been around since the early days of Minecraft modding. Fabric’s API is designed to be lightweight on your device, while Forge can be a hog and more complex to code unless you know how.
5. Mods: Forge has more mods available due to its long history, while Fabric is newer and has less mods available. However, the content and quality of the mods are more important than the number of mods available.

In summary, Forge is a well-established modding platform with a large library of mods and compatibility with a wide range of Minecraft versions, while Fabric is a newer, more modular and lightweight modding tool that is gaining popularity for its flexibility and ease of use. The choice between the two depends on the mods you want to use and your individual modding goals and gaming inclinations.
