JumpQuilt is a mod that allows the use of Quilt mods in CurseForge modpacks, by loading Quilt as if it were a Forge mod. It works on both the client and server, however it's only necessary on the server if you want to launch the game using tools that only support Forge. JumpQuilt is fully configurable to download any Minecraft version and mod loader, but by default it will download the Quilt loader and library versions corresponding to your current version of the game. It only loads if your game was launched from Forge/ModLauncher, so it won't do anything if your Minecraft launcher already supports Quilt.
Warning: This mod will stop Forge mods from loading! Make sure you back up before you join worlds where you have used Forge mods previously - as all the blocks/items added by those mods will disappear.
- Loads Quilt (or a different configured mod loader) instead of Forge, from a Forge installation.
- Automatically downloads the latest Quilt loader version for your version of the game, with no required configuration.
- If necessary, downloads the unpatched Minecraft game, so that Quilt can be used with it.
- Ensures that Quilt and Mixin don't see the classes loaded by ModLauncher.
- JumpQuilt doesn't let you run Quilt mods in tandem with Forge mods - it hijacks the launching process so that Forge never loads. See Patchwork for a project aiming to do this.
- JumpQuilt doesn't currently work very well on the client for loading a Minecraft game with a different major version (including snapshots) to the currently loaded game, as supplementary assets (such as sounds) are downloaded separately by the game launcher. The Asset Validator mod fixes this issue.
Requires a Forge version that uses ModLauncher (or ModLauncher on it's own, without Forge) - this usually means 1.13 or newer.
