+==== What Minecraft versions does Fabric support? ====
 For most end users, the answer is "snapshot 18w43b and above, releases 1.14 and above".
-In theory, there is nothing stopping you from running Fabric's mod loader on older versions of Minecraft, all the way down to c0.0.11a. However, mappings don't yet exist for those versions - as such, making mods is made... a tad more complicated.
+For more detailed answers, read below.

 ==== Can Fabric run together with Forge? ====
-With regards to modern Minecraft versions (1.13+):
+  * Fabric does not currently work on top of Forge on modern Minecraft versions.
-  * Fabric does not currently work on top of Forge on those versions.
   * It is theoretically possible to create a way to do so - that is to say, there are no known major technical obstacles in accomplishing such.
   * There were some experiments and discussions done in this regard (as of 30th June), but nothing usable by end users or mod developers.
-With regards to older Minecraft versions:
+The development team does not consider Forge interop a high-priority goal, as our focus is on supporting the Fabric community and its developers and users.
-  * 1.6 ~ 1.12.2: While Fabric used to run on top of LaunchWrapper, this functionality is currently unmaintained and in need of rework.
+==== Can Fabric run together with OptiFine? ====
-  * 1.3.1 ~ 1.5.2: Not currently planned.
-  * 1.2.5 and below: Functional! See the ModLoader section.

+Not officially. However, unofficial mods exist to faciliate the launching of OptiFine for 1.14+ on Fabric. Your mileage may vary, however.
-==== Can Fabric run together with ModLoader? ====
+==== Can Fabric run on older Minecraft versions? ====
-Yes! However, to ensure proper support, you must enable //compatibility mode// in Fabric Loader, by adding the JVM flag ''%%-Dfabric.loader.useCompatibilityClassLoader=true%%''. To some extent, this also works on Java 9+ - however, some mods, like RedPower 2, will break.

-Not officially. However, unofficial mods exist to faciliate the launching of OptiFine for 1.14+ on Fabric. Your mileage may vary, however.
+Yes! Generally, all JAR mods (such as old versions of OptiFine, or Better Than Wolves) should work fine, and allow the same degree of moddability you'd get with an unmodded version of Minecraft. However, there are some special notes:
+For most pre-1.13 mod loaders, you must enable //compatibility mode// in Fabric Loader, by adding the JVM flag ''%%-Dfabric.loader.useCompatibilityClassLoader=true%%''.
+With regards to running Minecraft Forge:
+  * 1.6 ~ 1.12.2: While Fabric used to run on top of LaunchWrapper, this functionality is currently unmaintained and in need of rework.
+  * 1.3.1 ~ 1.5.2: Not currently planned.
+  * 1.2.5 and below: Functional, just like ModLoader.
+With regards to running ModLoader: No known problems.
