`*_loader_dependencies.json` doesn't work

[DragonEggBedrockBreaking]

I have tested both fabric_loader_dependencies.json and quilt_loader_dependencies.json, and neither of them work. I have tested them with the basic configuration of:

{
    "version": 1,
    "overrides": {
        "tiefix": {
            "-depends": {
                "fabric-resource-loader-v0": "IGNORED"
            }
        }
}

but I still get an error on launch declaring a missing fabric resource loader dependency. This occurs with any other mods/dependencies I have tried it on.

The files were placed in **/.minecraft/config/, as with fabric.

On fabric, as expected, fabric_loader_dependencies.json works fine.

@wafflecoffee mentioned on the QuiltMC discord server that she had some issues too.

Yes, dependency overrides haven't been added for quilt mods yet (and were disabled for fabric mods), so this is expected (but still a bug).

Sorry, I should have commented much ealier. I plan to write an RFC for improving on the fabric_loader_dependencies.json format for quilt's overrides, but I don't plan to change fabric's format. As such only the quilt_loader_dependencies.json part should be assigned to me, and anyone else could implement fabric's.

This feature would be really useful to have currently for all the 1.18 mods that work in 1.19 but have 1.18 specified in their *.mod.json because patching all of them manually is a pain. And it's a big problem when sharing a modpack when you don't want to just give jars.

Wanted to say that I think this is a very nice fabric feature and I'd like to have it on Quilt too
