That is its technical superiority. Forge is a specific modified version of Minecraft which comes with a bunch of extra extension points. Fabric is a framework for modifying Minecraft itself, any way you want to. In Fabric, you aren't limited to the predefined extension points since almost every instruction becomes an extension point.

I know. I never said otherwise. The fact that it doesn't do what Forge does literally is the benefit. Sorry if that wasn't already clear. It should've been.

Back before I knew Fabric, I constantly cursed Forge because (before they added Mixin as well) a mod could not modify the game in any way Forge hadn't already thought of. On Fabric I could do anything at all.

You're completely missing my point btw, the point was that the reason I didn't mention Fabric is because Forge is the one that adds a bunch of stuff to Minecraft and Fabric just lets mods do whatever they want any way they want. Forge is the one that adds a capability system just intrinsically. Fabric lets you do that if you want (e.g. Cardinal Components API) but it also lets you do anything else you want and doesn't force you to use that architecture if you don't want to.

Also hi Immibis, didn't notice your username the first time :)
