What it does

Its mixins patch conflicts between mods that do not cooperate well, which is the reason the project name refers to mods that do not play nicely together. Among its listed changes, it removes a debug message that prints to the client console when flying and disables the update supporter check. Grave blocks are made more blast resistant, in a way similar to OpenBlocks.

The mod requires MixinBooter, which must be installed alongside it. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files target 1.12.2 only, and the code is open source under the MIT License. Its author notes also mention compatibility with Gadgets n Goodies, Grim Pack and Minecraft Comes Alive.
