Mutil is a Library mod for Forge and NeoForge that supplies shared utilities to other mods by the same author, mainly tetra.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

Mutil bundles several helper systems. It handles data storage with less setup code, offers network messaging utilities, renders hierarchical user interface elements with animation support, and provides an anchor based layout system for placing those elements. It also includes perks queries, which check the perks a player has available.

Mutil is required by 10 other mods, including tetra, Art of Forging: A Tetra Addon, tetracelium, trolldom and More Tetra Materials, so it must be installed for those to load. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Builds exist for Forge and NeoForge across five game versions, 1.19.1 – 1.21.1, and it is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Data management

    Simplifies storing and retrieving data for mods that build on the library.

  2. Network utilities

    Provides helpers for sending information between the server and connected clients.

  3. Animated hierarchical UI

    Renders nested interface elements with animation support, arranged by a parent and child structure.

  4. Anchor based layout

    Positions interface elements relative to anchor points, so layouts adapt when a window size changes.

  5. Perks queries

    Checks which perks apply, and a config option in mutil-client.toml can turn the query off.

Questions

Does tetra need Mutil installed?

Yes. Tetra is one of the 10 catalog mods that require Mutil, so Mutil must be present for it to run.

Can the perks query be disabled?

Yes. Setting the query perks option in mutil-client.toml to false turns it off, and a prepared config file can be placed in the config folder to skip the query on first startup.

Which game version does the latest Forge file target?

The latest Forge file is 6.3.0 for 1.20.1, and the latest NeoForge file is 7.0.0 for 1.21.1, with builds covering 1.19.1 – 1.21.1.
