Finding mod versions

I'm trying to programmatically sort mods by version into separate folders. The problem I'm having is finding something within a given mod that shows what version of minecraft the mod was made for. The only document that I can find that does (META-INF\MANIFEST.MF) is very inconsistent in format.

For example:

Quote

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Specification-Title: examplemod
Specification-Vendor: examplemodsareus
Specification-Version: 1
Implementation-Title: forge-1.18.1
Implementation-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Vendor: examplemodsareus
Implementation-Timestamp: 2021-12-11T21:47:32+0100
MixinConfigs: serilumforgemod.mixins.json

Quote

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Specification-Title: fallingtree
Specification-Vendor: RakSrinaNa
Specification-Version: 3.2.1
Implementation-Title: FallingTree
Implementation-Version: 3.2.1
Implementation-Vendor: RakSrinaNa
Implementation-Timestamp: 2022-02-07T18:06:58+0000

The second example shows the mod version, but not what version of minecraft it's built for. Is there a better way to do this? How does Minecraft know when a mod wasn't made for the game version it's running?

If it helps, I am programming in vb.net.

META-INF/mods.toml

https://forge.gemwire.uk/wiki/Mods.toml

But even then there is no guarantee the mod author specified a minecraft version dependency.

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

Those versions numbers are for the world save format.

I think the information you want is available on the downloads page? https://files.minecraftforge.net/net/minecraftforge/forge/

It's the version of the Mod loader each minecraft version gets it own loader version.

I was referring to the link that was posted. https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Data_version
