Fabric Polyfill

by Crystal Nest

Fabric Polyfill lets Fabric API events from newer Minecraft versions run on the 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 range, where they are not built in.

What it does

The library backports Fabric API events so that code written against newer Minecraft versions can use them on older builds. Its public links point to the source code, and it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It requires Fabric API and runs on client and server, so both sides need it.

Builds cover 1.16.5 and 1.18.2. The latest Fabric file is 1.0.0.3 for 1.18.2, published on 2023-11-01, after the first release on 2023-10-22.

Key features

  1. Backported events

    Fabric API events introduced in later Minecraft versions are made available on the earlier builds this library supports.

  2. Newer event usage

    Event handlers written for newer Minecraft versions can be reused on 1.16.5 and 1.18.2 without being rewritten.

  3. Source code available

    The full source is published, so the backported event code can be read and checked by mod developers.

Questions

Does Fabric Polyfill need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, and it must be installed alongside Fabric Polyfill on Fabric.

Does the server need Fabric Polyfill?
