PVPUtils-fix
PVPUtils-fix patches PVPUtils so it loads the correct Skia native libraries on Windows and Linux during client startup.
What it does
The PVPUtils-fix mod is a Fabric client-side patch for PVPUtils. Its purpose is to correct a Linux platform support issue: PVPUtils tries to load Skia native libraries before the right one for the platform is available. A Mixin hook makes sure the correct Skia native library for Windows or Linux is pre-loaded first, so PVPUtils can start without that failure.
The patch is aimed at players who run PVPUtils on Windows or Linux with Fabric. It requires Fabric API and Java 21 or newer, and it is written for Minecraft 1.21.11 only, with the latest file 1.4 for 1.21.11 published on 2026-07-01. It works with the x64 and arm64 builds listed for Windows, Linux and Android. Installing PVPUtils-fix changes nothing on servers, because only the client needs it. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

A Fabric client-side mod that patches PVPUtils to support Windows and Linux by pre-loading the correct Skia native library at startup. PVPUtils only bundles the Skia native library for Windows (.dll), causing crashes on Linux when Skia features are used.
