(8 pts) Summarize the main compatibility challenges when running Meteor Client across Minecraft versions aligned with Meteor Client 1.16.5, 1.20.6, and 1.21.1. Expected points: obfuscation/mappings differences; protocol packet changes; API/field/class renames; dependency (Fabric/Forge/Vanilla) and loader differences; mapping of event hooks and rendering pipeline; module reflection and use of internal server classes causing fragility.
