What it does

Refined Studios uses RefinedLib as a shared common code library across its projects. Files are published for Fabric only, and the latest file is 1.21.1-R3 for 1.21.1, released on 2026-07-23. The mod was first published on 2026-05-13 and last updated on 2026-07-23.

Client and server: the server and every player need the mod, because the library code runs on both sides. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, although public links for the source code, issue tracker and wiki are available. Among the 1170 Library mods with Fabric files for 1.21.1, it sits in the Library category, with Decoration and Utility as secondary categories.

Because the library is shared, the features below appear in other Refined Studios mods that depend on it, such as Gradient Method Texts, tooltip border and background colors, colored icons next to supporter names, and the plushies for Refined Studios members.

Key features

  1. Shared common code

    A common code library that Refined Studios projects use, so the same code does not have to be repeated in each mod.

  2. Gradient method texts

    Text drawn with a color gradient, available to projects that use the library's text methods.

  3. Tooltip customization

    Options for the border colors and background color of item tooltips.
