Café Core
by retroad1
Café Core is a library mod that supplies shared utilities and registration systems to other mods published by the Café Leblan Studio.
What it does
Café Core provides common code for other mods: data handling, recipe helpers, item and block utilities, abstractions that cut repeated code, and event-based helpers for dynamic behavior. Its stated purpose is to keep mods from the same studio consistent and easier to maintain. Fabric API is required, and Cloth Config API and Mod Menu are optional. The mod is client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Files cover game versions 1.21, 1.21.1, 26.2 and 26.3. The latest Fabric build is 1.1.1-fabric-26.3 for 26.3, dated 2026-09-25, and the latest Forge build is 1.0.0-forge for 1.21.1, dated 2026-07-15.
