will there be any plans to backport this amazing mod? I understand that asking for backports is annoying to a lot of mod devs since it's time consuming and a pain but I was just wondering if you'd considered it.

I wont do so myself (same for porting to forge), however i will support any backports (e.g, adding whoever does to the modrinth so they can add and maintain the files or something)

I will update it to future versions though

Cool, I'll try to backport it and see how that goes!
