FabricClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.21 – 1.21.11

What it does

m4lib provides common utilities that m4ssive's Minecraft mods draw on. Its features include nametag rendering helpers and entity interaction helpers, and it is meant to hold shared functionality so that other mods do not have to duplicate it. Players do not use m4lib directly; it sits underneath the mods that depend on it.

The library requires Fabric Loader 0.15.11 or newer and Fabric API, and it needs Java 21 or later. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it, and files cover twelve release versions. The latest Fabric file is 1.3.0 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-06-01. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.

Key features

  1. Nametag rendering utilities

    Helpers for drawing entity nametags, which other mods can call instead of writing their own rendering code.

  2. Entity interaction helpers

    Shared methods for handling interactions with entities, reused across the author's mods.

  3. Shared common utilities

    A collection of general-purpose code that the author's mods share, kept in one place.

Use cases

Mod developers

Developers building on the author's mods use the same nametag and entity helpers without duplicating code.

Who it’s for: Players who run the author's mods on a Fabric client, and developers who want the same shared helpers. Players who only use vanilla content do not need it.

How it compares

Full comparison

NametagToolkit is also a client mod for nametags, but it is published only for 1.21.11 and is released under a Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license. SkyzLibs is client-side only and is released under the MIT License, the same license as m4lib. C-erva Core runs on both client and server for 1.21.11 under the MIT License, so it is the choice where servers need the library.
