net
by anmao
net is a NeoForge library for network communication, aimed at mod developers who write packet code.
What it does
The library handles the network communication layer that mod code otherwise has to build by hand, so developers can focus on what their packets carry. It runs on client and server, so both sides of a connection need it. Builds cover 1.21.1 – 26.1.2 for NeoForge, with 26.x-2.0.0 as the latest file for 26.1.2, published 2026-04-16 under a custom license that is not open source.
