What it does

Iron's Lib provides common functionality for Iron's mods. It applies unique armor models to items, offers customizable armor interfaces, handles cape physics automatically and generates player statue assets dynamically. Multiblock structures are also handled dynamically, and static model rendering is included.

A set of combat and gathering attributes is added in a lightweight, non-intrusive way, covering armor penetration, mining speed, experience gains, projectile effects, critical hits, dodging and healing. The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it. Paladin Spells - Iron's Spells Addon also requires this library.

Files are published for Forge and NeoForge. The latest Forge file is 1.20.1-2.2.0 for 1.20.1, released 2026-09-28, and the latest NeoForge file is 26.1.2-2.2.0 for 26.1.2, released 2026-09-27. Builds exist for 1.20.1, 1.21.1 and 26.1.2. Installation covers the server and each player's game. The code is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Armor models on items

    Unique armor models can be applied to items, changing how worn armor looks on the player.

  2. Armor interfaces

    Armor interfaces can be customized heavily, so other mods can present armor information in their own layout.

  3. Automatic cape physics

    Cape movement is simulated without extra setup, so capes react to the player's motion.

  4. Kinetic weapon backport

    The spear charge attack components are backported, including use effects and attack range, plus a KineticAnimation interface for custom charge animations.
