Vanilib

by Choculat

Vanilib is a shared library for Fabric that most Choculaterie mods install alongside them, and it lists the installed mods when asked.

What it does

Many Choculaterie mods depend on Vanilib to do their work. Installing a Choculaterie mod on Fabric pulls in Vanilib, which then runs in the background with no settings to change. The mod lists the Minecraft version, the Fabric version, the Vanilib version and the installed mods, which helps when reporting an issue.

Vanilib requires Fabric API. The mod is client-side only, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source and issue tracker are linked from its page. Files cover 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 1.0.1 for 26.3, published 2026-10-14. The mod first appeared on 2026-07-31 and was last updated on 2026-10-14.

Key features

  1. Shared library for Choculaterie mods

    Most Choculaterie mods use Vanilib for shared code, so it is installed once and reused by each of them.

  2. Installed mods list

    The mod can display the list of mods currently loaded, for checking what is running.

  3. Version readout

    The Minecraft version, the Fabric version and the Vanilib version are shown, useful for support requests.

  4. No configuration

    The mod needs no setup; it works in the background once it is in the mods folder.

Does Vanilib need any configuration?

No configuration is needed. Once installed, the mod works in the background with the Choculaterie mods that depend on it.
