ForgedFabric API

by lukegrahamlandry

ForgedFabric API is a Forge library that partially reimplements parts of Fabric API so mods written against those parts can run on Forge.

What it does

The library supplies a subset of the Fabric API, limited to the parts that other mods in the catalog use. Developers can use it to port Fabric-style code to Forge, and to write multiplatform mods that share code between the two loaders. The project is in early stages of development, and its author adds functions only as needed for the mods they work on. The author plans to move the project into a fork of the official Fabric API and to keep parity with the full library over time. Developers who want to follow progress can read the wiki, which explains how the library works for developers. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

  2. Multiplatform development aid

What the author says

ForgedFabric is a partial reimplementation of the Fabric API on Forge. Same idea as QuiltMC/quilted-fabric-api but much less comprehensive (for now). Useful in porting mods from fabric to forge and developing multiplatform mods in general. It's currently in the early very stages of development. I'm only implementing…
