!!!NEWS!!!
Version 1.20.4 and upwards will all be for NeoForge. 1.20.4 will come out when Citadel and JEI is ported to 1.20.4 NeoForge
There will probably be no Version 1.20.2 or 1.20.3, because neither Citadel nor JEI support these Versions for NeoForge
Support for 1.19.4 is now finally out! But that's not all: also support for 1.20 and 1.20.1 is now out too.
