Questions about ukulib.
3 questions
Do I need ukulib?
Only if a mod you use lists it as a requirement. ukulib is a library that supplies a config system, config screen widgets and utilities to uku's mods. It adds nothing to gameplay on its own, so installing it without a dependent mod has no visible effect.
Does ukulib work on multiplayer servers?
No. It is required on the client and unsupported on servers. Put it in your own mods folder when a client-side mod needs it, and keep it out of the mods folder of any dedicated server you run.
Which loaders does ukulib support?
ukulib is published for Fabric, Quilt and NeoForge. Its page describes it as compatible with both Fabric and NeoForge, and Quilt uses the Fabric builds. There is no Forge build listed, so pick a loader that matches the dependent mod.
