ForgedAPI Fork
by shizotoaster
ForgedAPI Fork is a Forge library that partially re-implements Fabric API, so Fabric-style mods can run on Forge.
What it does
The library provides a subset of the Fabric API modules on Forge. Authors who build against Fabric API can use the parts already implemented, which cover base functions, lifecycle events, the Indigo renderer, rendering, models and block render layers. The author describes the project as a fork of ForgedAPI that fixes critical bugs and adds more of Fabric API over time.
The mod is listed as Forge only, for Minecraft 1.16.5. It is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so installing it on a client alone or a server alone is enough. It is required by one catalog mod, Enhanced Block Entities Backforged, which lists it as a dependency. The latest Forge file is 1.0.0+1.16.5 for 1.16.5, dated 2024-03-21.
Key features
Fabric API Base modules
The Fabric API Base module set is implemented on Forge, giving Fabric-style mods their common base functions.
Lifecycle events
Fabric Events Lifecycle hooks are available, so mods can react to game lifecycle moments the way they do on Fabric.
Rendering and models
Fabric Renderer API Indigo, Fabric Rendering and Fabric Models are included, with Fabric Block Render Layers for choosing how block textures draw.
Partial coverage
Only some Fabric API modules are present, so mods that depend on modules outside this set may still need other support.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

Use cases
Porting Fabric mods to Forge
Authors porting a Fabric mod to Forge can use the implemented modules instead of rewriting calls to Fabric API.
Running Enhanced Block Entities Backforged
Enhanced Block Entities Backforged requires this library, so it must be installed alongside that mod.
Who it’s for: The library suits mod authors porting Fabric projects to Forge for Minecraft 1.16.5, and players who use Enhanced Block Entities Backforged, which cannot run without it.
