Fabric API Missing
A Fabric mod will not load because Fabric API is not installed. Fabric API is a core library most Fabric mods depend on, adding it to the mods folder resolves the error.
Τι σημαίνει αυτό το σφάλμα;
Fabric Loader is minimal by design. Fabric API provides the shared hooks and interfaces the majority of mods use. 'Fabric API not found' means a mod needs it but it is absent from your mods folder.

No. Loader runs mods, API is a library most mods require. You usually need both.
Most do. A few standalone mods do not, but installing it is the safe default.
From the official Fabric API page on Modrinth or CurseForge, matched to your version.
