Hi, I recently was looking to switch from an all-OptiFine Mod set-up to a Fabric/Iris loadout. When I downloaded [fabric-api-0.43.1+1.18] (from your link to CurseForge) into my mods folder (after downloading the fabric installer), a [.fabric] folder was created with a [processedMods] folder and a [remappedJars] folder inside.

These are the only other Mods that I've authorized and downloaded into my [mods] folder:
fabric-api-0.43.1+1.18
iris-mc1.18.1-1.2.0-pre
lambdynamiclights-2.1.0+1.17
modmenu-3.0.1
okzoomer-5.0.0-beta.3+1.17.1
replaymod-1.18.1-2.6.3
sodium-fabric-mc1.18.1-0.4.0-alpha6+build.14

However, when I launched Minecraft with Fabric 1.18 and open up my Mod menu, I see 8 mods instead of 7. The additional Mod is called "Pride Lib v1.1.0+1.17" By Emi" I have not downloaded this Mod, and I had no idea where it came from. And the buttons to 'visit a website' or 'report an Issue' are both unresponsive/greyed out (see attached photo). Since I work from home, I'm always really protective of my computer and what I download and from where, so this certainly raised a great deal of concern. I do a lot of research into each mod before I download it to be sure it's safe and well-used and approved by the community. But this mod, I can't find anything on it anywhere! I can't even find it on CurseForge by itself.

Naturally in a panic I searched my hidden folders (because again, this is not in my mods folder) and I'm pretty sure I found it, called [pride-1.1.0+1.17-6180eb4d60395097] inside the [processedMods] folder that [fabric-api-0.43.1+1.18] downloaded into my [.minecraft] folder.

I tried manually deleting it, but no matter how many times I delete this mod, "Pride lib," it keeps appearing inside my Mod menu in my Minecraft game. So this is some sort of run-command mod that redownloads itself. It has no purpose, I don't understand the brief description it gives itself in the Mod menu, and I gave no authorization to download this mod. There's no info on it anywhere on the internet or on your download page, and I'd really like the option to at least be able to permanently delete it from my computer. I don't think something like this should be piggy-backing its way into your fabric mod without at least telling people that it's a mod-pack.

But as I said, in the very least, I'd like to be able to delete it, so if you could please either tell me how to permanently do that, or update your next version in the next few days when you can, to make it so that it this mod is not a run-command mod that re-downloads itself then I'd really appreciate it.

Or is this actually a virus that's crept into fabric api, and do I need to bring my computer in?! This is a huge concern for me, because this "mod" is acting exactly like a boot sector virus or a polymorphic virus.

Thank you

Thank you for responding so quickly! So are you saying it's not Fabric api? And if so, I'm not used to looking at logs, would you be so kind as to help me find it?

Mods are able to include other mods within them, using somehting commonly known as "jar in jar". The processedMods folder you mentioned is where these mods are extracted to. You should be able to find the mod that is including it by looking in the log file.

Mod menu may be able to add a feature that shows the parent mod for nested mods.

No, its not fabric api, as you can see in that log:

pride 1.1.0+1.17 via lambdynlights

The mod "LambDynamicLights" includes the pride library/mod to help it function correctally. Removing the LambDynamicLights will also remove this mod, however you may wish to keep it now that you know where its coming from.

Ah, thank you so much, I really appreciate the help!
I feel much better knowing I don't have a virus! ^.^
