0. ALWAYS PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT MODLOADER (Fabric / Forge) AND MOD VERSION (For Example 1.19.2-8.2.10)

fabric, and travelersbackpack version 1.21.1-10.1.3 and ive tried just about every version of cloth config i can, still no dice :/

1. Describe the bug

When I try to boot the game, it says error unless i remove the cloth config mod i have, then it says i need cloth-config2 any version, im so confused and ive been working on this for about an hour now and have no idea what im doing wrong, maybe im overlooking something simple? please help!!

and yes i can get you a recent log if needed :)

Could you show me the project which you download cloth config from?

yeah! ive tried this link: https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config/versions?l=fabric
and this one: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/cloth-config
tons of versions, no dice on any :/

Make sure you are downloading cloth config for Fabric
It seems like Your game is not seeing cloth config and you say tou installed it. It means youve probably downloaded version for wrong modloader

i double triple checked, i have all fabric versions

Could you give me the whole list of your mods? Also could you share latest.log?
