Core frameworks & loaders
Why these statuses?
- BG3SE: Latest release is newer than patch Hotfix #36, but notes do not explicitly mention that version.
- BG3MM: A load-order/mod manager that edits files outside the game binary; game patches don't break it. Latest: Latest release predates patch Hotfix #36; compatibility is unverified — check the project page.
Statuses are inferred from public release data (Steam news, GitHub, Thunderstore, Mojang/Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Modrinth APIs). They are not guarantees — verify on each project's page before updating. Items marked “Check manually” are not counted in the verdict.

What do the status labels mean?
Safe: a release explicitly supports the current patch (release notes, the maintainer's official page, or a stable build for that game version). Likely safe: a release is dated after the patch but doesn't name it, or the patch is over a week old with no breakage reports on the project's issue tracker. Just patched, wait: the patch is under 7 days old and the framework hasn't updated. Breakage reported: open issues report the framework broke after the patch. Not ported yet (Minecraft): no build exists for that version. Not affected by patches: version-agnostic tools such as mod managers or generic loaders; they don't count toward the verdict.
Where does the data come from?
Game patches come from official Steam announcements (app 1086940). Framework data comes from public release APIs (GitHub, Thunderstore, Fabric/Forge/NeoForge meta, Modrinth). ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
