FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.3.2 – 1.21.1

What it does

Scripts written for CraftTweaker are read when the game starts and change the running game. Recipes can be removed, replaced or added, tooltips can be attached to items, and events can be subscribed to so scripts react when something happens in the world. Item properties can also be adjusted from a script, without a separate mod for each change.

The mod is used by modpacks to remove conflicting recipes and to build a consistent theme across the pack, and by servers that want custom behavior. Addon mods such as JEITweaker, MTLib, CreateTweaker, ContentTweaker and Initial Inventory are built on top of it and extend what scripts can reach, including new blocks, items and custom world generation. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Faux Custom Entity Data.

The library is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.3.2 – 1.21.1. The code is under the MIT License, and the source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.

Key features

  1. Recipe changes

    Scripts can remove, replace or add crafting and processing recipes without editing data files by hand.

  2. Event scripting

    Scripts can subscribe to game events and run custom logic when those events fire.

  3. Item property edits

    Properties of items can be changed from a script, and tooltips can be added to them.

  4. Custom commands

    Scripts can register new commands that players or server owners run in the game.

Use cases
