A potential solution has been determined
COAL-018 · Fabric Loader's suggested fix
Fabric Loader worked out exactly which mods to install or update to fix your mod set. How to follow its suggestion correctly.
What it looks like in the logA potential solution has been determined: - Install fabric-api, version 0.92.2 or later.
What it means
When Fabric Loader rejects a mod set it also tries to compute a fix, and when it succeeds it prints this block. It is the most useful thing in a Fabric startup failure - not a diagnosis to interpret, but an instruction list. Coalstack's Auto Debugger surfaces it verbatim for exactly that reason.
How to fix it
- Do what it says, exactly. Version numbers are part of the instruction - "0.92.2 or later" means 0.92.1 will not do.
- Do every line before restarting. The list is one coherent solution, not a set of alternatives to try in turn.
- Match your Minecraft version when downloading. Mod pages list a separate build per game version, and only the one matching your server is relevant.
- "Remove mod X" is a real option. If the suggestion is to remove something you do not care about, that is the fastest fix available.
If Fabric could not determine a solution you will see COAL-019 instead, which lists the unmet requirements without the fix.
