MCPitanLib
MCPitanLib is a library mod that other Pitan Network mods use to support several Minecraft versions from one codebase.
What it does
The library gives mod authors a shared base for building mods that cross game versions. It has no gameplay effect of its own, so a player who installs it sees no new blocks, items or menus. Its purpose is to be present for the mods that depend on it, and the author describes it as a set of tools for that purpose.
Fabric API is required, and the library runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. It is open source under the MIT License, so the code may be reused within that license. Cloth Config API, CompatDatapacks and Legacy Itemmodels are bundled inside the mod, so no separate install is needed for them. Builds cover 1.16 – 26.3, with 39 release versions in that range.
Twenty-five other catalog mods require MCPitanLib, among them Item Alchemy, Simple Uncrafting Table, Yamato Gun, Advanced Reborn and Mod Sound Volume Options. Those mods are the usual reason to install it. Installation covers the server and each player's game.

Use cases
Dependent mods
Install the library when a mod such as Item Alchemy, Simple Uncrafting Table or Yamato Gun lists it as a requirement.
Modpack builds
Pack makers who combine several Pitan Network mods keep one shared library instead of adding each mod's support code separately.
Who it’s for: The library is aimed at mod authors who write for several Minecraft versions, and at players who use mods that list it as a requirement. Players who only want gameplay changes will not find any in this library itself.
