ChosenLib
Mod authors who want shared helpers and a ready template can build on ChosenLib, a Fabric library for 1.21.1 with static utilities, text formatting and example mixins.
What it does
ChosenLib supplies shared code for building Fabric mods: static helpers for math and string handling, TextUtils for clean localized message formatting, and a general utilities package. Authors can depend on it instead of copying the same routines into each project. Fabric API is required, so it must be installed next to ChosenLib.
The library also serves as a starting point. Its template includes a modern entrypoint setup and a safe mixin example for patching game behavior, so a new mod can begin from working code. The build targets Java 21 with Yarn mappings. Homy TP requires ChosenLib, so it is one of the mods that depend on the library.
Either side can run ChosenLib, and neither needs it. Builds exist only for Fabric and only for 1.21.1, with 1.6.0 as the latest file, published on 2025-11-03. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
Static helper methods
Helpers for math and string handling, grouped as static methods that can be called without creating objects.
Localized text formatting
TextUtils formats messages so that localized text stays clean and consistent across a mod's interface.
Mixin template
A safe mixin example shows how to patch game behavior without writing the boilerplate from scratch.
Modern entrypoint setup
The template sets up a current Fabric entrypoint, so a new project starts from a layout that already compiles.

How it compares
VeloraLib is Fabric only, for 1.21.11, and client-side only under All rights reserved. SkyzLibs is Fabric only, covers 1.21 – 1.21.11, is client-side only and is released under the MIT License without being open source. Duchessentials is Fabric only, covers 1.21 – 26.2, is client-side only and is open source under the MIT License, so it covers a wider version range than ChosenLib.
