Fabridge
by TheASEStefan
Fabridge is a Forge core library that lets Forge mods use Fabric-style code, aimed at developers porting mods between the two loaders.
What it does
The mod provides a synchronization layer between client and server, so values written on one side are saved on both. Developers can keep state in sync without writing much networking code, which suits projects built on Fabric-style logic that now run on Forge.
Fabridge also adds custom events and a way to register content in the same manner Fabric code does. Players who run Fabric mods through a connector layer have reported that installing it resolves some bugs. The mod is built for 1.20.1 on Forge, where the latest file is dated 2024-07-19. It is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Client and server sync
Values written on one side are stored and synchronized so that both the client and the server hold the same data.
Custom events
The library offers events that mods can hook into, beyond the standard Forge event set.
Bug fixes for connector setups
Players who run Fabric mods through a connector layer have reported that installing it resolves some of their bugs.

Use cases
Porting Fabric mods
Developers whose projects rely on Fabric code but target Forge can use the registration and event helpers to reduce rewrites.
Running Fabric mods on Forge
Players can install the mod alongside a connector layer when Fabric mods show bugs on Forge.
Who it’s for: Mod developers porting Fabric code to Forge, and players running Fabric mods on Forge through a connector layer. The mod adds no content on its own.
How it compares
CreateFirmaCraft - Core is also a Forge library for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, but it is not open source and runs on both client and server. Wertyfire Core is open source under the MIT License, but it targets only 1.7.10 and works with either side. Sinytra Connector Crash Fix covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, is client-side only, and is not open source.

What the author says
Note: This is a library mod. It adds no content by itself. Fabridge is a core mod that does stuff on Forge with the trick that it works like Fabric. It can be useful for certain events and much more, you can sync the client and the server this way without doing too much, and then writing values that will later on be…
