Humility VAL

by Miki-Liki

Humility VAL is a Fabric library by Miki-Liki that helps mod authors support several Minecraft versions from a single codebase.

FabricClient or server, optionalCustom license1.20.1 – 26.2

What it does

The library covers registration of blocks, items and block entity renderers, and it exposes a few world and player helpers such as the level build limit getter and sending chat messages to players. Its goal is to reduce the version-specific code that a mod needs when it targets many game releases at once, by bridging differences between older and newer versions at a small performance cost.

Build-time tooling sits alongside the runtime library. An optional Python package handles mod building, and the author describes an IntelliJ IDEA plugin and a preconfigured project template generator as work in progress. A GameTestHelper assertion set with true and false checks is included for testing. Humility VAL requires Fabric API and runs on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 26.2 across nine release versions. Either side can load it, and neither needs it, and it is published under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Block and item registration

    Helpers register blocks and items so that one declaration can serve several game versions.

  2. Block entity renderer registration

    Block entity renderers can be registered through the library, keeping rendering setup in one place.

  3. Level build limit and chat helpers

    Code can read the level's build limit and send chat messages to players without version-specific calls.

  4. GameTestHelper assertions

    True and false assertion helpers are provided for writing GameTestHelper tests.

Projects that want an optional Python package to build mod files can use it alongside the library.

Who it’s for: Mod developers who maintain one Fabric mod across several Minecraft versions, and teams that want shared registration and testing helpers.

Questions

Does Humility VAL need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is listed as a required dependency, so it must be installed next to Humility VAL on Fabric.

Does a server need Humility VAL?

Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server can run without it unless a dependent mod requires it.

Which Minecraft versions have files?

Fabric files exist for 1.20.1, 1.20.4, 1.20.6, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8, 1.21.11, 26.1.2 and 26.2. The latest file is 0.4.0+26.2 for 26.2, published on 2026-08-17 on the alpha channel.
