What it does

Chroma API is a small library focused on items and shared textures, and it serves as a foundation for other content. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric across six release versions, 1.21.11 – 26.3, under All rights reserved, which means the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Shared item textures

    Items reuse existing textures through a common set of item classes rather than adding new art for each one.

  2. Tools and utilities

    The library includes tool and utility items that other mods and players can use in the same way.

  3. Upgraded snowballs

    Snowballs can be upgraded into a higher tier of item, one of the added recipes and behaviors.
