Nanite Library
by ErrorMikey
Nanite Library is a library mod by ErrorMikey that gives other mods a shared base for loader-specific code, configuration, resource loading and client syncing.
What it does
Nanite Library abstracts away many of the differences between mod loaders, so a mod written against it can run on Fabric and NeoForge without separate loader code paths. It bundles resource loading, a configuration system and client syncing, along with a JSON5 based format for its settings. Both sides of a connection need the library, since the client syncing and shared configuration only function when the server and every player have it installed. Fabric API is required on Fabric builds.
The library was built primarily for the Nanite family of mods, which depend on it, but the author recommends it for anyone building cross-platform mods. Its early feature set is intended as a starting point, and more utilities are planned. The author says existing APIs will be kept where possible, though breaking changes can happen when they are needed to keep the library simple. Nanite Library is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Feature requests are accepted through the issue tracker.
Files target 26.1 – 26.3 with builds for Fabric and NeoForge. The latest file for each loader is 26.3.0.6 for 26.3, released 2026-09-27 on the beta channel.
