Kriforfab

by TKD_Kedis

Kriforfab is a Forge and NeoForge library that ports features of Fabric API, such as Biome API, so mod authors can use them outside Fabric.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverApache License 2.0Open source1.20.4 – 1.21.10

What it does

The library carries over major Fabric API features to Forge and NeoForge. Its base code comes from FabricMC, and some Forge modifications come from Sinytra. Mod developers who rely on Fabric API calls can use the same features on Forge and NeoForge, and registration limits on those loaders are lifted through the library.

Kriforfab is needed by Exotelcraft, the only other catalog mod that requires it. Both the server and every player need the library, since it runs on client and server. Builds cover 1.20.4 – 1.21.10 across 14 release versions, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0, making the project open source. Public links to the source code and issue tracker are available.

Key features

  1. Fabric API Base

    Core Fabric API base functions are available on Forge and NeoForge through this port.

  2. Registration limits removed

    The library removes some Forge and NeoForge registration limits, letting mods register more content.

  3. Additional ported features

    A few other Fabric API features are carried over to the two loaders in addition to the named modules.
