Minecraft Version Loader

by CebbyS

Minecraft Version Loader is a Fabric library that lets a mod find version-specific code for whichever Minecraft release is running.

FabricClient or server, optionalCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.18 – 1.20.1

What it does

The library is built for developers who want one codebase to work across several game releases. Instead of branching by hand, a mod can ask the library which Minecraft version is active and load the matching code path. Files exist for Fabric only, covering 1.18 – 1.20.1 with 10 release versions. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked.

Key features

  1. Version detection

    Reports the running Minecraft release so dependent code can choose the right implementation at startup.

  2. Dependent code paths

    A developer's own mod can branch between implementations, keeping one codebase for several releases.

  3. Simple class import

    A developer imports the necessary classes and calls one method to get the version information.
