I recently played a bit around with an interesting project that enables old ModLoader mods to be loaded via Fabric: https://github.com/BTW-Community/Fabricated-Legacy-Forge
I ported it over to our mappings, adjusted the mixins to work with the current BTW version and did some further compatibility stuff. Overall it is not very powerful at the moment, but some simple mods actually load! The official site also seems to suggest that Forge support is planned for the future.
The mods that I currently got working are Rei's Minimap, TooManyItems (the original!) and MouseTweaks (non-ModLoader version). You can test it out using this MultiMC instance.
And while these mods might be a little bit on the cheaty side, I still could not resist sharing it here. Who knows, maybe some more stuff will be possible with this in the future? ;)
If you have any questions or in the case that problems arise, you can most reliably find me on the Community Discord. Feel free to contact me there!

Updated the MultiMC instance again, now updated to BTW 2.0.3 and added Minaptics!
---------------
If you want a nice-to-have zoom mod, try out the Minaptics Mod for 1.5.2, it works well with this setup! I also updated the screenshots with an additional image for it :)
