ModMenu Badges Lib

Owner not published

ModMenu Badges Lib lets mod authors attach their own badges to entries shown in the ModMenu list, using a small library on Fabric.

What it does

Mod authors add a badge to their entry in the ModMenu list through this library. The library is open source under the MIT License and is distributed for Fabric only. Files cover 1.18.2 – 26.3, with 2026.3.1 for 26.3 as the latest file, first published on 2023-04-21 and last updated on 2026-03-30.

Only the client needs the library, since it changes how the mod list looks in the game. Fabric API and Mod Menu must be installed alongside it, and both are required. AutoSwitch Enchant requires this library in turn. Tschipcraft uses it to show a badge for the Data Pack entry in Dynamic Lights.

The project exposes a generator that produces the badge definition file, which authors place in the root of their mod and tune to their own preferences. Source code and an issue tracker are publicly linked, and contributions are welcome under the project's open source terms.

Key features

Custom badges in ModMenu
Authors can show their own badge next to their mod's entry in the ModMenu list.
Badge definition file
Each mod supplies a modmenu-extra-badges.json file in its root that lists the badges to display.
Badge generator
A web generator creates the badge definition, and its output is copied into the mod's file.
Badge search
The list can be searched by badge, so players can find mods that carry a given badge.

Use cases

Data Pack badge

Dynamic Lights shows a badge marking its Data Pack support, which the library makes possible.

Who it’s for: Fabric mod authors who want to label their entries in the ModMenu list. Players gain nothing from it on their own, because it only adds visual badges for mods that use it.

Questions

Does ModMenu Badges Lib need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency, along with Mod Menu.

Does the library have to be installed on a server?

No. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.

Which game versions does ModMenu Badges Lib support?

Files cover 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the latest Fabric file is 2026.3.1 for 26.3.

How do mod authors add a badge?

They add the dependency, create a modmenu-extra-badges.json file in the root of their mod, and fill it in, using the generator if they wish.
