Katton
by Alumopper
Katton is a Kotlin scripting framework for Minecraft, letting modders change game behavior through scripts that reload while the game runs.
What it does
Katton runs Kotlin Scripts that interact directly with Java objects at runtime. Script packs are managed from a built-in screen opened with the K key, where each pack can be toggled on or off and monitored. Diagnostic commands inspect registries without leaving the game.
Scripts are hot-reloadable, so changes show up in the game without a restart. The framework is meant for modders at different skill levels, from first scripts to complex mods that work with Minecraft in unusual ways. Katton requires Fabric API and supports both Fabric and NeoForge, with the two loaders sharing most of the same interface and differing only in some events. It runs on client and server and is open source under the MIT License, with builds for 26.1 – 26.1.2 released 2026-08-06.
