FAQ
Can you backport this to [MC version before 1.16]?
No, I won't backport it. I do not consider it worth the effort, and would like to encourage people to use more recent versions.
Should I install this on the server or just on the client?
Some optimizations are client-side only, but there are some rather high-impact optimizations that are relevant on the server too. So you should install it on both sides.
This is the Forge page, why are there Fabric builds here?
I released those builds before I created the Fabric page, you should ignore them (unless you're specifically looking for older builds of FerriteCore on Fabric).
