## FAQ
### Can I use this mod in my mod pack?
Yes, you are allowed to use this mod in your mod packs.
### Port to another Minecraft version? Which versions are supported?
Sorry, but I do not backport any mod to an older version. Here is a list of all supported and planned versions: [Minecraft mod versions of cech12](https://gist.github.com/cech12/662e37d2f8524037d9fef8fbe90bed5a)
### Is there a Fabric version?
Yes, for Minecraft 1.16 there is a Fabric version of this mod. Since 1.20.4 Fabric and Quilt are officially supported. There is no plan to backport Fabric support to earlier Minecraft versions than 1.20.4. For 1.19, please check out the mod [Survival Campfire](https://modrinth.com/mod/survival-campfire).
### Where is the config file?
There is a defaultconfig directory, where you can find it. If you change something there it has only an effect on new savegames. For existing savegames you need to go to the serverconfig directory of the savegame.
