DillonLib
by Dillon8775
DillonLib is a cross-platform library for mod authors, offering platform abstraction, mixin helpers, configuration, factories and other shared utilities.
What it does
Developers who build a mod for several loaders can use DillonLib to share one codebase. Its API covers platform abstraction, mixin management, a clean options system, factories that auto-register behaviors and object types, and common modding utilities. Memory-stored player data keyed by UUID and scheduled tasks that run within the server tick are included as well.
The library also ships client-side helpers such as common text handling, operations used on the client and modern-styled widget lists. Permission checks, screen construction and tick timing are among its smaller utilities, and sound files used by Dillon's mods are bundled too. Installation needs Balm and Fabric API on Fabric, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 26.2 and 26.3, with mc26.3-1.2.3 as the latest build for each loader. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, although public source code links are available.
Key features
Platform abstraction
Shared API calls let one mod codebase work across Fabric and NeoForge.
Mixin and factory helpers
Mixin predicates and management utilities sit alongside factories that register behaviors and object types automatically.
Configuration and permissions
A clean options system and simple permission getters handle settings and access checks.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

Use cases
Multi-loader mod development
A mod author targeting Fabric and NeoForge can reuse the platform abstraction instead of writing separate loader code.
Server-side scheduled logic
Tasks that run within the server tick and UUID-keyed player data suit mods that track players over time.
Who it’s for: Mod developers who maintain projects across several loaders, and mods that depend on this library for shared utilities.
How it compares
Platform is an open source library under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.16.5 – 1.21.1. Its environment works on either side, and neither side needs it. PlateauLib is a Fabric-only library for 26.1 – 26.1.2 under All rights reserved, not open source. Matthiesen Core is open source under the MIT License for NeoForge and Fabric, but only for 1.21.1.
