 ==== What Minecraft versions does Fabric support? ====
-For most end users, the answer is "snapshot 18w43b and above, releases 1.14 and above".
+For most cases, the answer is "snapshot 18w43b and above, releases 1.14 and above".
-For more detailed answers, read below.
+There exist ways to run Fabric with older versions - modded or vanilla, but they're currently non-trivial - see the expert FAQ for more details.
 ==== Can Fabric run together with Bukkit/Spigot/Paper? ====
-As of now, no. There is some experimental functionality available in Loader's 0.5.0 development branch to run Fabric Loader on top of Paper specifically, but there are many caveats pertaining to Bukkit API's deficiencies. This will probably never be officially supported and should be treated more as a curiosity/special-case scenario.
+Not at the moment. This may change by the end of the year, but is unlikely to be officially supported.
 ==== Can Fabric run together with Forge? ====

 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 on older Minecraft versions? ====
+==== Can Fabric run together with Sponge? ====
-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.
-==== Can Fabric run on older Minecraft versions with mods? ====
-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.
+Not at the moment.
-  * 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.
