Lua Runtime

by mokkachocolata

Lua Runtime adds Lua scripting to Minecraft for Fabric, letting scripts run inside the game under a single Fabric mod file.

FabricClient or server, optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21 – 1.21.8

What it does

Scripts written in Lua can be loaded and executed in the game, so the Minecraft API is reachable from Lua code. Fabric API is required and must be installed alongside the mod. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.8, and the latest file, 0.13, targets 1.21.8 and was published on 2025-07-23 on the alpha channel.

Key features

  1. Lua scripting in Minecraft

    Scripts written in Lua run inside the game, giving access to Minecraft from Lua code.

  2. Script compatibility across versions

    Scripts written for older game versions should keep working on newer ones, though breaking changes may appear in alpha builds.

  3. Script safety

    The author advises checking the source of any script before running it, since the author takes no responsibility for damage caused by scripts.

Questions

Does Lua Runtime need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed next to Lua Runtime.

Is Lua Runtime needed on a server?

Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so a server can run without it.
