Elegantia
by aratakileo
Elegantia is a Fabric and Quilt library that provides GUI building blocks, graphics helpers and utilities for other mods and resource packs.
What it does
The library supplies a GUI toolkit with widgets and drawers for building screens, along with graphics drawables used to render them. Developers can pull these pieces into their own mods instead of writing the same screen code again. Elegantia also carries math interfaces, world utilities and general helpers that sit beneath a mod's core logic.
Players meet the library through its quick configuration screen, through resource pack support and through an update checker that reads the Modrinth catalog. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the configuration screen from the mod list. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so the library is optional on clients and servers alike. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, so Elegantia is open source. Files exist for 1.20 – 1.21.1 across seven release versions, and the Fabric build for 1.21.1 was the latest published on 2024-08-21.
