Ion Api

by IonForge

Ion Api is a library for Fabric and NeoForge that gives Ion Forge mods shared tools, utilities and systems.

What it does

Ion Api is the core library of the Ion Forge ecosystem. It supplies code that Ion Forge mods share across loaders, so a feature does not have to be rebuilt separately for Fabric and for NeoForge. Keeping this common code in one place is meant to reduce duplicated work and keep behavior consistent between builds.

The library handles the structure that Ion Forge projects depend on behind the scenes. Ion Api adds no gameplay content of its own, and a mod that uses it lists Ion Api as a requirement, so it must be installed alongside that mod.

Ion Api runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, both for game version 26.2, with 0.1.0 as the latest file on each loader. The library is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. A public wiki is linked from its listing.

Key features

  1. Shared cross-loader tools

    Utilities and systems written once are available to both Fabric and NeoForge builds of Ion Forge mods.

  2. Common code in one place

    Keeps the shared logic of several mods in a single codebase rather than repeating it per project.

  3. Lightweight core

    Built as a small core library that other mods pull in, rather than a set of gameplay additions.

Use cases

Developing an Ion Forge mod

A developer building a mod for either loader can use the shared utilities instead of writing the same code twice.

Keeping mods updated

Updates to the shared code reach every Ion Forge mod that depends on the library, which simplifies maintenance.

Who it’s for: Mod developers building on the Ion Forge ecosystem, and players who run Ion Forge mods that list Ion Api as a requirement.

Questions

Does Ion Api add anything to the game by itself?

No. The library adds no blocks, items or mechanics. It is installed because other Ion Forge mods list it as a requirement.

Which loaders does Ion Api support?

Fabric and NeoForge. Both builds are published for game version 26.2, with 0.1.0 as the latest file on each loader.

Does Ion Api have to be installed on the server?

Yes. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
