CipherLib
by Ciph3rJ
CipherLib is a Fabric library mod that supplies shared code for other mods, including data generator helpers, registry helpers, screen shake and item skins.
What it does
Other mods call into CipherLib rather than shipping their own copy of common code. The library covers custom data generators, registry helpers, a screen shake effect and item skins, so a dependent mod can use these without reimplementing them. Bellum and Raven Mail both require it.
CipherLib is distributed for Fabric only, with the latest file 1.0.4-1.21.11 for 1.21.11, released on 2026-08-18. Installation needs it on the client and on the server, since the environment is client and server. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The author notes that the mod's future is undetermined, that it was used as a temporary replacement for EnderLib, that it is missing some features EnderLib provides, and that it will probably be removed or repurposed once EnderLib is available again. Players should use it at their own risk.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Mod developers who want shared helpers for custom data generators, registries, screen effects and item skins. Players only need it when a mod they install requires it.
How it compares
Dynamic Registries Modifier is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and covers 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, and it works on either side, and neither needs it. Farest's API is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, covers 1.21 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, and must be installed on both the client and the server. CipherLib differs in being MIT licensed, not open source, and in targeting 1.21.11 only.
