Paragon

by ang-xd

Paragon is a config library that other mods use to build their settings screens, and it can also add in-game menus and GUIs of its own.

What it does

Paragon provides a lightweight configuration library for mod authors. Its modular design lets a mod adopt only the parts it needs, and its setup is kept short so a developer can register a config with little code. Because other mods depend on it for their options, it is mostly useful to players as the layer behind those settings screens.

Paragon also adds content of its own, including menus and GUIs that appear in the game. Fabric API is required, and Paragon is distributed as a separate jar on Fabric so that Fabric API is not bundled inside it. Client and server need the mod, so both sides run it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Files target game versions 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 across seven release versions, with the newest builds for 1.20.1 published for Fabric and Forge and a Quilt build for 1.19. The mod was first published on 2022-10-22 and last updated on 2023-06-13.
