What happened to the Fabricated QSL?

[kristibektashi]

The website at https://feltmc.github.io/# mentions a Fabricated Quilt Standard Libraries. From what I understand it should allow me to load Quilt mods on Fabric. But I can't find it anywhere, I looked on the page that you get taken to when you click Download but it's not there (or at least the 1.20.1 version isn't there, I didn't check the directories for the other versions). I also tried to join the discord that is mentioned in this GitHub repository but the link has expired. So what happened to it?

It was never actually finished, and we honestly see no need for it currently, there are like no quilt exclusive mods at this time, and there really isn't that much support for quilt at this time even among a lot of people who initially supported quilt.
Plus i've been really busy with other projects and distant is busy with work.
Also the discord is mostly private at this time, being invite only

All of RAT's mods are quilt exclusives and it is needed.

what are rats mods?

You know, effective and illuminations by doctor4t

[kristibektashi]

Also Requiem and Gravity API are Quilt exclusive and afaik there is no Fabric or Forge equivalent

So is Disruption

So is Disruption

@Brickmaster1 I think what my colleague meant is there aren't any Quilt-exclusive mods we thought people cared much about.
We kind of thought there wasn't much of a demand for Fabricated QSL or FeltQuilt Core..

If it is something people will use, I will gladly start working on it again. We've been a bit more focused trying to get Forge mods working, however..

[Brickmaster1]

I mean I feel a lot of people could use fabricated QSL but forge is definitely more needed right now. Personaly I would be extatic to have a forge on fabric project over fabricacted QSL and obviously you don't have infinite division of attention so. If you wanted to work on that after I think it would definitely be useful to a lot of people.

@Brickmaster1 I feel like it'd be simple enough to get going again, I've been keeping track of Quilt Loader commits and it's still not doing anything Fabric can't already do with some minor effort. That said I am kind of excited about the challenge NeoForge might bring, and want to try something actually interesting.

After I get FeltFML working, I'll gladly get Quilt running again.
Just annoy Player Fabric a bit about getting Loader 0.15 out already so it'd actually be usable. (He's thinking about doing a prerelease for the sake of showing progress.)

Well there is a mod called Sinytra Connector and Forgified Fabric API that allows fabric mods to run on Forge Mod Loader

For multiple reasons (I'll make a gist at some point), Sinytra Connector is not the ideal approach.
I'm not saying the project in and of itself is bad, it's fairly interesting, but the Fabric ecosystem itself isn't really good for Forge...
With as Mixin-heavy as Fabric's ecosystem is, getting 100% Fabric compat on Forge is nothing short of impossible.

The other way around, however, is very doable, albeit way more difficult. We do not believe we will reach 100% compat anytime soon, but there's no reason we can't get 75%+ pretty quickly. Again bug Player Fabric for Loader 0.15 pls :)

[PseudoDistant]

Also, may I politely ask that you refrain from advertising unrelated projects in the future? If you'd rather use Connector, I have no problems with that, but I hope you can see how irritating the unneeded advertisement can be. (I hope you also don't advertise us in their issues lmao.)

[RoomAlex68]

Oh I wont

[Cuteistfox]

what is the use case for fabricated quilt instead of useing native quilt?

[unix-supremacist]

stablity, quilt isn't exactly that well put together, plus at this point the entire thing quilt is known for outside of unstable software is harassing gay people (including those on the felt team) while claiming to be inclusive, it's entirely fair if people want to use quilt mods without supporting such a project
