AstraTemplate

The template is organized as modules with a lifecycle-driven architecture, so one shared codebase runs across Paper, Forge and NeoForge. Only the instance module knows about a specific platform, and it builds a fat jar with ShadowJar. Every other module is either platform-agnostic or clearly named as a platform variant. The core module provides config, translations and coroutine scopes, and other modules depend on it.

Developers can use the template as a base for their own plugins or mods. Config is stored as a typed object in config.yml, translations work the same way through translation.yml, and a default value works out of the box when the files are present. A local database layer built on Exposed ORM switches between H2, SQLite, MySQL and MariaDB through a single line of config, and a Ktor-based REST client shows how to fetch data from an external HTTP endpoint, returning Result values instead of throwing errors.

Required dependencies are Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. The project is released under the MIT License and is open source. Files are published for Fabric and Forge across 28 release versions, 1.15.2 – 1.21.3, and the latest builds for both loaders are 8.0.0-alpha01 for 1.21, an alpha channel release dated 2025-11-07.
