Platform listing does not guarantee loader compatibility

Even on a trusted distribution platform, every file still has its own supported Minecraft versions and loader requirements.

Source ZIP vs compiled release

Source archives are mainly for code access and development. A normal player install generally expects a compiled file produced for the correct loader.

Keep download checks consistent

Wherever a file comes from, verify project identity, version, loader, dependencies and backup status before opening an important world.
