CroakLib

by CroakAndRoll

CroakLib is a shared code library by CroakAndRoll that other mods on Fabric, Forge and Quilt build on.

FabricForgeQuiltClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.20 – 1.20.6

What it does

The library supplies common code for other mods by the same author and third parties. It is a dependency, not a standalone feature set, so players install it only when a mod they want asks for it. Two catalog mods, Connectorlib and Create: Dimensions, require it.

CroakLib needs Architectury API on every loader, and Fabric API on Fabric. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files cover 1.20 – 1.20.6 for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and the latest build is 1.0.5 for 1.20.6.

Key features

  1. Shared code base

    Provides common code that other mods can call, rather than bundling their own copies.

  2. Source and issue tracking

    The project publishes its source code, an issue tracker and a wiki for reporting problems and reading how the code is used.

  3. Compatible with dependent mods

    Other mods that list the library as a requirement load its shared code during startup, so one copy serves them all.

Questions

Does CroakLib need Fabric API?

Fabric API is required on the Fabric loader. Architectury API is required on every loader, so install both alongside CroakLib on Fabric.

What the author says

Note: I had an older mod also by the name of CroakLib, which is no longer available (see here for that), so if you somehow ended up here, you can try the old page but you probably won't have much luck.
