Mods being targeted by mixins are no longer selected by jar name. This now fully requires a GTNH Mixns capable Mixin provider such as [UniMixins](https://modrinth.com/mod/unimixins).

Optional pastebin proxying for LLibrary to bypass regional blocks that were causing crashes.

Mixins made redundant by [NotFine](https://github.com/jss2a98aj/NotFine) will no longer be applied if it is installed.

Download
Fixed the hunger dealing a scaling portion of health setting crashing with Apple Core when enabled.

Removed support for plain SpongeMixins as it was breaking in several setups. Swapping to [UniMixins](https://modrinth.com/mod/unimixins) or [GasStation](https://modrinth.com/mod/gasstation) as a mixins provider is suggested.
[1.2.0] 1.2.0 by jss2a98aj on Oct 15, 2026

Allowed servers and clients to have mismatched remote versions of BugTorch going forward.

Enabled the Netty resource leak fix by default.

Split farmland improvement options into three separate components for independently selecting new side textures, hydroponics, and no trampling.

Thaumcraft candle array index sanitation now covers cases where exceptions would be nonfatal but still spam the log.
