Blended Compat
by Kanadeyoru
Blended Compat adds compatibility patches for mods that players often run together in modpacks, so their content interacts more smoothly.
What it does
Blended Compat is a lightweight mod whose patches connect mods commonly found in the same packs. Installing only some of these is enough: Blended Compat then applies the patches that match the mods present, and the rest are skipped.
The patches are still being extended. One current example makes mobs from different mods react to each other, such as a Snow Leopard from Alex's Mobs praying toward Penguins from Ecologics. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. Files are published for game versions 1.18.2 – 1.21.8, with 1.1.1 for 1.21.5 as the latest Fabric and Forge build and 1.1.2 for 1.21.8 as the latest NeoForge build. The code is licensed as All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Cross-mod patches
Compatibility patches connect content from several mods so they work together in one world.
Optional targets
Each listed mod is optional, so a pack with only a few of them still gets the patches that apply.
Mob interactions
Mobs from different mods can respond to one another, for example a Snow Leopard praying toward Penguins.
Lightweight design
The mod is described as small in scope, focused only on bridging the listed mods rather than adding new content.

A lightweight mod that aims to better integrate commonly found together mods with compatibility patches, intending to improve the modpack experience.
