by holy_buckets

HB's Foundation is a Library mod by holy_buckets that provides shared API methods, block and chunk utilities, networking and command registration for other Minecraft mods.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

The library collects utility methods for modded projects. It includes general block and chunk level operations, a customer event handler sorter based on Blay09's Balm API, networking support, a command registry and a player input registry. Boilerplate for adding new blocks and structures is also included, along with support for asynchronous block placement on client and server.

Balm is required, and the mod is integrated with it. Six catalog mods depend on this library, among them HB's Ore Clusters and Regen, Hbs Satellites, HB's Structures over Time, Find My Blimp and True Rewards for Travelers Compatibility. The mod is built for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 and 26.1.2 and files published on 2026-09-14 for 1.20.1. Both sides need it, so the server and each player install it, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Shared API methods

    Fundamental and utility methods for modded projects are gathered in one library that other mods can call.

  2. Block and chunk utilities

    General operations on blocks and chunk levels are available to dependent mods without separate code.

  3. Networking and commands

    Networking support, a command registry and a player input registry let dependent mods send packets and register commands.

  4. Enchanted Essence item

    Default configuration adds support for the Enchanted Essence item.

How it compares

Full comparison

Puzzles Lib is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge library under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 for 1.18.2 – 26.3, and it works on either side, so neither needs it. Integrated API is also built for all three loaders across 1.18.2 – 26.3, but both the server and every player must run it, and it is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only. Modern Networking covers 1.16 – 26.3 on the same loaders, works on either side, and is released under the MIT License.
