FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient and serverThe UnlicenseOpen source1.13 – 1.21.4

What it does

Library data storage keeps simple records for other operations, so a dependent mod does not have to write its own persistence layer. A MySQL-only storage option is available for setups that need a database rather than local files.

The library is a mod and plugin library built for Bukkit, Spigot, Paper and Folia, and it also supports Fabric and Velocity. Both the server and every player need it, since it is listed as client and server. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 39 release versions, 1.13 – 1.21.4, under The Unlicense, and the source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Data storage API

    Provides simple APIs for storing data and running other data operations from dependent code.

  2. MySQL storage option

    A MySQL-only storage path lets dependent mods keep their data in a database instead of local files.

  3. Chat prefix handling

    Adds a chat prefix utility that other mods can call to format messages consistently.

  4. YAML and JSON editors

    Includes a simple YAML editor for the non-Bukkit series and a simple JSON editor for configuration files.

  5. Network API

    Offers a network API that dependent mods can use to communicate across connected instances.

Use cases

Shared plugin base

Developers of Bukkit-family plugins can use the library for storage and editing instead of writing those utilities themselves.

Cross-loader server tools

A single library covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so one codebase can support several loaders.

Who it’s for: Mod and plugin developers who want shared storage, editing and networking utilities, and server owners whose installed mods depend on the library. Server owners should check that a required mod, such as mcsudo, is installed alongside it.
