SauriaLib

by kappa-maintainer

SauriaLib is a Forge library for 1.12.2 that provides a GeckoLib 3 fork, used by mods that render animated geometric models.

What it does

The library carries its own GeckoLib 3 fork with fixes patched into Cleanroom. Its changes address log spam during game launch, shadow model rendering, armor helmets sitting in the wrong position while a player sneaks, and transparent textures. Other players may still look slightly odd on screen in some cases, according to the author notes.

Dependent mods can render abstract geometric objects anywhere, and an example mod is included to make testing easier. The author notes say the library works with older 1.12.2 mods that use GeckoLib 3, and that CodeChickenLib is required so item and block tile entities are not needed. Lumenized support is included as well.

SauriaLib is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the code is open source. Files are published for Forge on 1.12.2 only, with 3.2.1-beta as the latest file, updated on 2026-05-06 and first published on 2025-12-17. The library runs on client and server, so both sides need it.
