Kage Library

by AvatarKage

Kage Library supplies shared modules that other Minecraft mods call for common functions, so developers do not repeat the same code in each project.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.21.11

What it does

Several projects depend on Kage Library to function properly, and it must be installed alongside them. Keeping shared logic in one place lets its author ship cleaner updates, improve compatibility across mods and maintain the code with less effort. Architectury API and Fabric API are required, and Better ModList and Mod Menu are optional. Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Key features

  1. Shared modules

    Common functions used by several Minecraft mods are provided in one library rather than copied into each one.

  2. Dependency role

    Other mods list Kage Library as a dependency, so it must be present for those mods to start.

  3. Optional companions

    Better ModList and Mod Menu can be added as optional dependencies to improve mod list and menu handling.
