What it does

The mod was built to correct a set of interface bugs in the WildLight modpack. It is a client-side only mod, so players install it on their own game and servers can run without it. Its single required dependency is Fabric API, and it is published only for Fabric, with builds for 1.21.1 alone.

Its compatibility work covers several pairs of mods. Detail Armor Bar is patched to work with Immersive Armors and Copper Age Backport, Visual Overhaul gets support for modded woods, and Subtle Effects gains particle and light handling for Copper Age Backport, Deeper Darker Sludge trails and Soul Candles. Jade's tooltips are adjusted to sit behind Enhanced Boss Bars, and Fancy Block Particles is made to cope with gray particles from Fast Better Grass when blocks break.

The project is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code, an issue tracker and a wiki. The latest file is 2.12.0, dated 2026-06-29, after a first release on 2025-11-02.

How it compares

Full comparison

FREE PARTICLES is a Fabric particle mod for 1.21, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, and it is not open source. It can run on a client or a server, and neither side needs it. Fancy Health Bar is a client-side only Fabric mod for 1.20 – 26.2, released under the MIT License and open source, so it does not overlap with WildLight Compat's version range or purpose.
