Forge vs. Fabric
I'm team Fabric, my friend is team Forge. For simplicity's sake, we're both using 1.20.1
I need someone knowledgeable that can sum up the pros and cons of each one and provide a definitive answer to the question.
#I'm in a heated debate right now.

Depends on the use case
For optimization, fabric
For intense mods like thaumcraft, forge
main shadow
I suppose just general use, like ofc we want the most FPS possible but we're both on rather mid-end systems
kind cliff
But forge is definitely dying, so neoforge

Most fps would be fabric with sodium
main shadow
are forge and neoforge cross-compatible like fabric and quilt are?
kind cliff
Uhm, they used to be but the owner of forge was insanely toxic to the devs, so I think they removed it
main shadow
oh right okay
kind cliff
Neoforge being ex-forge deva
main shadow
so now mods have to be developed specifically for neoforge
kind cliff
That's more of a Bret question than a me question
main shadow
for sure
kind cliff
I tend to only use fabric or forge modpacka

if I'm using fabric, and he's using forge, can we still play together using essential.gg
kind cliff
No not that I'm aware of, they are completely different and the mods that translate fabric to forge are in beta and insanely hit or miss
You can't translate forge to fabric though, not at all
main shadow
even if they're client side?
kind cliff
Client side is whatever
main shadow
cool gotchu
kind cliff
It doesn't mate a difference
Fucking phone
Client side is just that, on your client
You can join vanilla servers with client side mods
kind cliff
Most fps would be fabric with sodium
I still stick with this, opti fine won't do shit
At most it leveled out my frames a bit
main shadow
@gusty ibex from a devs perspective, which is better?
solid edge
Fabrico
main shadow
did you read the question? can you sum up the pros and cons of both?

Well in terms of forge and fabirc as a whole there is hardly any difference. Truly, just a different syntax for programming the mods.
The only real way to compare then would be to compare the mods they have.
For example, if you are a oldy mc player then you’ll like forge more as it has the classic 1.12 mods.
If you want performance, then fabric.
It has sodium, and iris.
While forge has ports of them, they are extremely buggy and hardly compatible with anything.
Could say “oh it has optifine.”
But optifine is utterly useless since 1.15
It doesn’t help performance at all.
The resource pack features are nice but the mod itself doesn’t “opti”mize anything anymore
So I use fabric as I like having performance mods for the latest versions.
So honestly from a developer standpoint, fabric and Forge are nearly the same
From a user standpoint, depends on what you’re doing
Fabric is better for performance
Forge is better for old mods and MC creator mods
But MC creator, sucks, anyway
So there you go
main shadow
What's MC Creator?
kind cliff
It's like scratch but for mods
Great for beginners imo, but never used it myself
Apparently an actual bitch to bug fix
main shadow
Exactly like scratch then
