Curios API Wiki Guide for Players and Modpack Makers

A useful Curios API wiki mental model has four parts: the game version, the loader, the API version and the content mod that depends on it.

Game version

Minecraft mod files are built for specific game generations. Start every compatibility check with the exact profile version, not a broad “1.20” or “1.21” guess.

Loader family

Forge, NeoForge and Fabric are separate mod-loader ecosystems. Curios support has changed across time, so loader context is essential when reading old tutorials.

API dependency

A content mod can require Curios without exposing the Curios name prominently in gameplay. The dependency exists because the mod uses Curios to handle equipment or accessory behavior.

Reading errors like documentation

Loader errors often state which dependency is missing, which range is expected, and which file was found. Treat that message as the most specific guide for the exact pack you are troubleshooting.

Quick checklist

• Write down the exact Minecraft version.
• Confirm the loader family before choosing a file.
• Check which installed mod requires Curios.
• Back up worlds and configs before dependency changes.
• Read loader errors before trying another version.
