FAQ

Q: What the hell is a Nilmod? How do I install this? AAAAAAAAAAA??!?!?!!
A: First of all: you can install NilLoader alongside any other loader (including Forge, ModLoader etc.)! A Nilmod is a mod that is loaded by NilLoader. You should install NilLoader first and then put LegacyForgeJ8 in either the usual mods folder or in the dedicated nilmods folder (recommended!) in your Minecraft instance.

Q: Is there a server version of this?
A: The mod file should work just fine on both client and server.

Q: Are there any plans for [any other Minecraft version]?
A: This mod may work just fine for other MC versions as well. If not: let me know and I will port!
