Minethon API
by deltalation
Minethon API is a NeoForge library for 1.21.4 that gives other mods and datapacks a set of commands and hooks for flight, block interaction and simulated right clicks.
What it does
Other mods and datapacks can call the API to toggle flight for a player and to trigger block interactions as if a player had used them. Right click simulation lets a mod perform the same action a click would, which saves each mod from writing that logic itself. The API is meant to be used alongside datapacks and mods that need these actions rather than as a standalone feature.
The mod provides its own content as well as the API layer. Because it targets a single version, 1.21.4, the feature set reflects that release only. The mod is still in development, and the author notes that it does not yet cover every feature a developer might expect. It is published as an alpha build with file 1.0.0 for 1.21.4, dated 2025-06-13.
Servers and players both have to run it, since it works only with that pairing of sides. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Libraries in the same category for 1.21.4 are common, and this one sits among 447 NeoForge library files for that version.
Key features
Flight toggling
Commands and API calls can switch flight on or off for a player, without a separate permission mod.
Right click simulation
A mod or datapack can trigger a right click on a block or entity as if the player had made it.
Block interactions
Calls can run block interactions, such as opening or using a block, from code or from datapack logic.
Datapack hooks
Commands and functions exposed by the API can be called from datapacks, so pack authors can use these actions without Java code.

How it compares
Simple Flight Command Mod also handles flight on NeoForge and needs both sides, but its files cover 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 and it is published under All rights reserved. Infinicontrol is needed on the server, with the client optional, across Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.21.4 – 1.21.10 under a Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 license. Retina is also a mod where the server may run it alone, released under The Unlicense and open source, with files for 1.20 – 1.21.5 on the same four loaders.
