The release at https://maven.blamejared.com/vazkii/patchouli/Patchouli/1.16-37/Patchouli-1.16-37.jar does not include fabric.mod.json which makes it difficult to have Fabric remap the jar for mod development.

I'm currently having to use https://maven.blamejared.com/vazkii/patchouli/Patchouli_1.16-fabric/1.16-37.21-FABRIC/Patchouli_1.16-fabric-1.16-37.21-FABRIC.jar in order to be able to use the mod in my development environment.

This specifically makes it where I can use the api itself in Java, but am unable to load the Patchouli mod when running the Minecraft development client.

sorry our Maven has been an absolute mess, we've been sorting it out and hopefully things will be a lot clearer going forward.

first, the folder to use is now https://maven.blamejared.com/vazkii/patchouli/Patchouli/ for both forge and fabric. There were separate folders in the past, but that was due to a configuration mistake.

Second, Fabric builds have a -FABRIC suffix. So the 1.16-37 build you were trying to use was actually the Forge version.

I updated the READMEs of both branches to more clearly state what the current versioning/naming strategy is and how to get builds. Hope it helps! https://github.com/Vazkii/Patchouli/blob/1.16-fabric/README.md#maven-info
