FLIB
by Lothrazar
Players and mod authors who want shared helper code for FLIB-based mods will find a library of reusable features with commands and recipe ingredients.
What it does
FLIB is a library mod. Its code was written as a shared base so new mods can be built faster and ported between game versions more smoothly. Other mods depend on it to work, and 13 catalog mods require it, including Cyclic, Villager Artifacts, Speed Building - Scaffolding behavior, HeartBalance: Health Pickups & player starting health and tiny light bulbs. Installing it on its own adds the commands and building blocks without changing gameplay.
Its feature set covers core data, block settings with tooltips, rotating colors and light and facing behavior, inventory wrappers, a template for new mods with build scripts, world generation builders for simple features, patches and ores, dimension utilities, and energy and fluid tag ingredients for recipes. The commands teleport players across dimensions and change health, hunger, hearts, scoreboard values and attributes such as reach distance.
Installation covers Forge and NeoForge. Files target 1.20.1 on Forge and 26.1.2 on NeoForge, and builds cover 1.18.2 – 26.1.2 across seven release versions. The mod runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
