Nova's Library
Nova's Library is a small Kotlin library mod for Fabric and Forge, released for 1.18.2 and 1.20.1 and kept as a shared base for other mods.
What it does
Developers who build on Architectury API and Kotlin for Forge can use it as a common foundation, since the library holds code that would otherwise be rewritten in each project. Architectury API and Kotlin for Forge are both required and must be installed alongside it. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it.
Files exist for 1.18.2 and 1.20.1 on Fabric and Forge, under the MIT License, and the source code is public. Its first release arrived on 2024-01-27 and the latest file was published on 2024-01-28.
Key features
Small Kotlin codebase
The library is written in Kotlin and kept deliberately compact, covering helpers that other mods can call directly.
Shared utility code
Routines that tend to be rewritten across projects are gathered in one place so dependent mods can reuse them.
Developer-oriented design
Its purpose is to serve as a dependency for other mods rather than to change gameplay on its own.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

What the author says
This is a library mod. There's no reason to get this unless you want a mod that depends on it. That said, if you're a developer who uses Architectury and Kotlin, this might be interesting for you.
