Mod That Closes The Game When It Opens Mk.2

by KikuGie

Mod That Closes The Game When It Opens Mk.2 is a Fabric experiment that closes the game when it opens, built as the smallest possible Fabric mod with real code.

FabricClient or server, optionalCC0 1.0 Universal1.14 – 26.2

What it does

Its purpose is the joke in its title: once the mod loads, the game window shuts itself down. The project was made as an exercise in writing the smallest Fabric mod that still contains actual code, so its feature set is intentionally minimal.

Mod metadata is kept to the bare minimum. The mod file omits the schemaVersion field and any complex entrypoint setup, relying on the simple metadata format that Fabric still reads. The author notes that the older 2019 metadata layout remains supported by current Fabric releases.

Files are published for Fabric only, across 47 release versions 1.14 – 26.2, with 4.0.0 as the latest build for 26.2. Snapshot builds are published too. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Closes the game on launch

    When the mod loads, the game window closes itself, which is the entire behavior the title describes.

  2. Minimal metadata

    The fabric.mod.json file leaves out the schemaVersion field and complex entrypoint setup, showing a stripped-down mod layout.

  3. Build process

    The project documents how the mod is built, for readers who want a small working example of a Fabric build.

What the author says

An experiment to make the smallest possible Fabric mod (with actual code). Does what the title says. The (self-imposed) rules are to make the smallest possible Fabric mod that "does something". The definition of that in my opinion is to run, or at least attempt to, some code. So what can be done with that?
