## Key client-only mods (server must NOT have these)

`iris`, `sodium`, `iris-flw-compat`, `cull-leaves`, `lambdynamiclights`,
`dynamic-fps`, `3dskinlayers`, `visuality-forge`, `midnightlib`.

## Bridge layer (both packs)

Sinytra Connector + Forgified Fabric API run a small set of Fabric mods
(Immersive Portals, LambDynamicLights, Waystones-compat). Do not remove
either; the pack will not boot without them.
