WalksyLib
by Walksy
With WalksyLib installed, Fabric mods built on it can read and write their settings through a shared config layer and draw interface elements with a common toolkit.
What it does
WalksyLib is a builder-based configuration library and user interface toolkit. It is meant to be included inside other mods rather than played on its own, and the mods that use it are the ones that expose its screens and settings to players. Twenty catalog mods require it, among them Shield Statuses, Shield Fixes, Crosshair Addons Public, Consumable Optimizer and No Death Animation.
The library is client-side only, so a player needs it, while a server running the mods that depend on it does not. Files exist for Fabric alone, covering 17 release versions, 1.21 – 26.3, with 2.0.2+26.3 for 26.3 as the latest build, dated 2026-10-10. Snapshot builds are published as well. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links for the source and the issue tracker are available.
Two outside projects supply parts of the rendering. The Liquid Glass effect rests on ReGlass by RedxAx, and the MSDF font drawing rests on a separate font rendering foundation by sxmurxy0. The icon was made by Vqki.
Key features
Builder-based configuration
Config entries are assembled with builders, so a mod declares its options in code and the library handles the rest.
Shared UI toolkit
Interface elements for config screens are provided by one toolkit that other mods can reuse instead of writing their own.
Liquid Glass rendering
Elements can draw a glass-style background built on the ReGlass foundation.
MSDF font rendering
Text is drawn with multi-channel signed distance field glyphs, using a font rendering foundation by sxmurxy0.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
26.x5 of 5 versions with builds

Required by 20 mods
Use cases
Mods with settings screens
A mod that needs an options menu can declare its values with the builders and let the toolkit draw the screen.
Shared visual style
Several mods built on the same library can show configuration screens with the same layout and fonts.
Who it’s for: The library is aimed at mod developers who want to include a config system and UI toolkit in their own Fabric mods, and at players who run those mods on a client.
How it compares
ReGlass is also open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric across 1.21.8 – 26.3, client-side only, so it covers only the glass rendering that WalksyLib includes. CustomFontFix is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, client-side only, and has Fabric files for 1.21.11 – 26.3. Inventory Visual Enhancer is a closed-source client-side Fabric mod under the MIT License for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11, so it changes the inventory screen instead of providing a library.
