Likely safe for 26.3
Each Java release needs new Fabric/Forge/NeoForge builds, and every mod must be ported to the new version.
Likely safe
No breakage evidence for 26.3: Forge has no release that names the patch, but there are post-patch releases or no breakage reports since. Probably fine; skim the notes.

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.
Current verdict: Likely safe. No breakage evidence for 26.3: Forge has no release that names the patch, but there are post-patch releases or no breakage reports since. Probably fine; skim the notes. Latest patch tracked: 26.3 (2026-09-15).
Each Java release needs new Fabric/Forge/NeoForge builds, and every mod must be ported to the new version.
Automatically: Fabric Loader, Fabric API, Minecraft Forge, NeoForge, Sodium, Iris Shaders, Lithium.
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.
Game patches come from the Mojang version manifest. Framework data comes from public release APIs (GitHub, Thunderstore, Fabric/Forge/NeoForge meta, Modrinth). ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
