Common Bridge
Common Bridge is a server-side Library mod that connects several common APIs from Patbox, so other mods can use them without each one handling a separate integration.
What it does
Common Bridge provides adapters that let mods built on Patbox's Common APIs work with protection, economy and related systems. Protection and economy checks that many mods need are routed through one interface, so a mod that calls the common API does not have to talk to each economy plugin itself. Providers cover Open Parties Claims, Numismatic Overhaul, Diamond Economy, Lightman's Currency and Octo Economy API.
The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, and it is published for Fabric and Quilt on Minecraft 1.20 – 1.20.2, with files for 1.20, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2. The latest builds, 0.2.0 for 1.20.2 on the beta channel, were released on 2023-12-27. The source code is public and the code is released under the MIT License, so it is open source.

How it compares
Faelib APIs is a Fabric-only library for 1.20.1, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source; either side can run it. CroakLib covers Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.20 – 1.20.6, is client and server, and is open source under the Apache License 2.0. Economy Fabric uses a custom license, with Fabric files for 1.17.1 – 26.1.2, and either side can run it. Common Bridge differs by being server-side only and focused on bridging Patbox's protection and economy APIs.
