Impossible to tell the difference between forge and fabric verison, also confusion with dependancies

[CoolManTheCool]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My friend was installing this into a modpack, and we spent like 10 minutes trying to find out why it isn't working. I double checked the curseforge repo to verify version numbers, and they matched the 1.20.1 forge version, but there wasn't a forge or fabric label so I just assumed it was cross compatible.

He sent me the mod and I opened it up and discovered it was for fabric.

Describe the solution you'd like

Please rename the jars to something like mcdw_modversion-forge/fabric_mcversion.jar

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have considered ~killing myself~ removing the mod from out pack, but my friend INSISTED not to. I nearled'd to thisn't.

Additional context

I just BUSTED!!!

Sorry for being goofy.

@CoolManTheCool The reason that it is impossible to tell the difference is that they are the same file, so you are correct in that they are cross compatible. You just need to use the appropriate dependencies:
