Users may be confused when they see that the Fabric mod depends on fabric, not knowing that it's referring to the Fabric API.

As of Minecraft 1.19.2, Fabric API's mod ID has changed from fabric to fabric-api. When backporting from 1.19.2 to earlier versions, you must alter the depends section of your fabric.mod.json to expect fabric.
