TheMCBrosLib

by TheMCBrothers

TheMCBrosLib is a shared library for the TheMCBrothers mods, which other mods in the catalog require to run.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 26.1.2

What it does

TheMCBrosLib supplies code that other TheMCBrothers mods depend on, so it is installed alongside them rather than used on its own. Useless Mod, Useful Foundation and Useful Machinery all require it. The library is published for Forge and NeoForge, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it.

The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are publicly available. Files cover 15 release versions 1.18.2 – 26.1.2, with the latest NeoForge file built for 26.1.2 and the latest Forge file for 1.20.1. Snapshot coverage is not part of this listing.

Key features

  1. Shared library code

    Provides common code used by several TheMCBrothers mods, so each one does not carry its own copy.

  2. Required by companion mods

    Useless Mod, Useful Foundation and Useful Machinery cannot start without it installed.

  3. Works on both loaders

    Separate files exist for Forge and NeoForge, so the same library can be used on either loader.

Use cases

Running TheMCBrothers mods on a server

Building a modpack

Pack authors who include any TheMCBrothers mod add this library as a dependency so the pack loads without errors.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who use any TheMCBrothers mod, and modpack authors who build packs around them.
