Advice on using DH for the first time 1.20.6 w/datapacks
Hello all, I have been super impressed with the capabilities and genius implementation of LODs in minecraft. I am currently just getting back into Minecraft and am still catching up with all of the changes made since I last played. I just recently found out about data packs and am hoping to begin using some community made ones as they appear less game breaking to remove/play without and updated more frequently compared to mods. I am currently playing 1.20.6 with the Bundles and 1.21 datapack and am wondering if it would be better to get Fabric or Forge to use only DH.
Which (Fabric/Forge) will provide better long term and fast update support, for when the new Minecraft Update comes out, and which seems to be the better software platform for basic users? It seems that the new DH version uses a form of Forge called NeoForge. What are the extensive ramifications of using this new fork? I am a little familiar with the drama with the Forge community but do not have any grasp on what that means for me as a user. I have not kept up with modded minecraft since around 2018 and feel super out of the loop. Thank you for anyone who can help answer this!
TL/DR: SHOULD I USE FABRIC OR FORGE (NEOFORGE?) TO PLAY ONLY DH IN MC 1.20.6 W/ DATAPACKS FOR SINGLEPLAYER/LAN?
