Anvian's Lib
by anvian
Anvian's Lib is a small utility library that the other Anvian mods load on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
What it does
The library provides shared code for the mods by anvian, so each of them does not need to carry its own copy of the same helpers. Fabric API must be installed alongside it on every loader, because the mod depends on it at startup. The environment is client and server, which means the server and every player who joins it need the library for the mods that use it to work.
Anvian's Lib has separate code paths for common logic, Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so one release can serve several loaders. Builds exist for 1.19 – 26.3 across 29 release versions, and the latest files are 1.5.0 for 26.3 on Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, and 1.4.2 for 1.20.6 on Forge. The code is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, with public links to the source code and the issue tracker.
Key features
Shared common code
Logic that does not depend on a loader is kept in one place, so the same helpers serve every supported platform.
Loader-specific code
Separate code handles the parts that differ between platforms, so the same shared helpers run without change on each one.
Dependency loading
Mods that use the library call its helpers at startup, which lets them share one copy of the code instead of bundling their own.
Public source access
The source code and issue tracker are publicly linked, so developers can read the helpers and report problems in them.

Use cases
Mods that depend on it
Mods such as Chiseled Bookshelf Visualizer and Sculk Horn require it to run, so installing either one brings this library along.
Who it’s for: Players who use the other mods by anvian, and server owners who run those mods, need this library on both the client and the server. Developers who want to read the code can use the public source repository.
How it compares
Kiwi is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.18.2 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt; either side can run it, and neither needs it. NBT to Data API is not open source, uses a custom license and has files for 1.20 – 1.21.1 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it must run on both the client and the server. MossyLib is not open source, is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution No Derivatives 4.0, and only the client needs it for 1.20.1 – 26.3.
