Dependencies

What legacy-lwjgl3declares it needs, from the author’s own release metadata. A required one has to be installed alongside it or it will not load.

Ornithe Standard LibrariesRequired. A set of libraries for modding with Ornithe.

Frequently asked

Does legacy-lwjgl3 work on Minecraft 17w43a?

Yes. 17w43a is the newest Minecraft version legacy-lwjgl3 declares support for, and the claim comes from the author's own release metadata rather than from a compatibility list somebody maintains by hand.

Which Minecraft versions does legacy-lwjgl3 support?

Everything the author has declared, from a1.0.4 up to 17w43a. The full list is in the table above, with the Java runtime each version needs next to it.

Do I need to install legacy-lwjgl3 on the client or the server?

The client only. There is nothing to install on the server side. That is the author's declared design, not a guarantee for every server: one running anti-cheat or missing a counterpart mod can still object.

Which Java version do I need for legacy-lwjgl3?

Among the supported Minecraft releases above, the highest recorded requirement is Java 8 or newer. Use the requirement for the exact Minecraft version you run; previews and snapshots may differ.

What does legacy-lwjgl3 need to run?

It declares Ornithe Standard Libraries as required, so that has to be installed alongside it or it will not load. Each one is linked in the dependencies section above.

What licence is legacy-lwjgl3 under?

LGPL-2.1-only, as stated by the author on the platform we synced it from. Check the project's own page before redistributing or bundling it.

How do I install legacy-lwjgl3?

Install the matching loader first, then put the downloaded file in your mods folder and start the game. The loader, the mod and Minecraft all have to be on the same version, which is the usual reason a mod does not appear in game.

Where do I download legacy-lwjgl3 safely?

Start with the author's page on Modrinth, which is where the data here is synced from. MCReference does not host or repackage files. When available, recorded download links go to the source for that release; verify the publisher, filename and any available checksum before running it.
