 All modules are part of a single Gradle build. The Fabric module uses [Stonecutter](https://stonecutter.kikugie.dev/) to build several jars from the same code. Each jar is built against one Minecraft version and can support a range of compatible versions; it has its own project `:curvebuilding-fabric:<minecraft version>` with settings in `curvebuilding-fabric/versions/<minecraft version>/gradle.properties`.
 Fabric is currently built for Minecraft 1.21 - 1.21.1, 1.21.3 - 1.21.4, 1.21.5 - 1.21.8, 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.1 - 26.3 (one jar for each of these).
