See embeddedt/CreateChunkloading#28. I have set my mod to depend on v0.5.1 or later, but because the version number is 0.5.1-b it is seen as a prerelease by Fabric, which causes it to incorrectly report my mod as being incompatible.

You should be able to depend on >=0.5.1-a from my testing.

The version number must obviously match a corresponding forge version, and semver makes this quite difficult. This format has issues, but is the best I could figure out.
