What it does

Bento Box bundles three modules: Bento Config, a declarative configuration system, Bento GUI, a toolkit for expressive interfaces, and Bento Util, a general utility set. Other mods can depend on only the parts they need, or on the whole package, which replaces separate Bento modules in a mod list. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is published for 1.20 – 1.21.1 with the latest file for 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Declarative configuration

    Bento Config lets a mod describe its settings in code and build them into a configuration system.

  2. Expressive GUIs

    Bento GUI supplies building blocks for custom interface screens, so mods can lay out panels and controls.

  3. Utility functions

    Bento Util collects general helpers that the other Bento modules use, and some of them can be called directly.

Questions

Does Bento Box need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, so it must be installed alongside Bento Box.

Can a mod use only part of Bento Box?

Yes. Each module can be depended on separately, so a mod does not have to pull in the whole library.

What the author says

Bento Box is a modular library with expressive GUIs, declarative configs, and more down the road! Thanks to Bento Box being modular, you can depend on just the modules you need without pulling in everything else.
