Recipes aren't showing!
There is currently an ongoing issue with recipes being inaccessible when using FFAPI, even if you aren't using it, you should try using the FFAPI patch anyway.
You should add X!
If you have a feature request, check if it exists on the roadmap already, or create a feature request on the GitHub if it doesn't exist yet.
Can you port to X minecraft version?
I have plans to port Simple Radio to every version that Simple Voice Chat supports for Forge and Fabric (eventually), this means versions as early as 1.12.2 all the way to recent versions of Minecraft.
Can you port to X loader?
Probably not. Each loader adds a heavy burden on development as I have to test it for each version as well as each loader for that version so that there aren't any issues with it (which there still ends up being anyway). But feel free to suggest it anyway and I can atleast consider it!
