Zero Lib
by zeroteam
Zero Lib is a shared cross-loader runtime library that the Zero Team gameplay mods need to load on Fabric and NeoForge, and it adds a few standalone items, blocks, commands and menus of its own.
What it does
Zero Lib provides a common foundation that lets dependent mods register items, blocks, block entities and entity types through shared registration utilities, and display information consistently. One shared implementation keeps core behavior the same on Fabric and NeoForge, so a dependent mod does not need separate code paths for each loader. The mod loader starts Zero Lib automatically whenever a Zero Team mod that uses its services is installed.
Zero Lib requires Architectury API and Fabric API, and it is not open source: it is released under All rights reserved. Players interact with it directly through a small set of configuration options, commands and key bindings, and it works in single-player, on integrated servers and on dedicated servers. Zero Lib has to be present on both the client and the server for any dependent mod to start, since those mods cannot load without it.
Zero Lib is published for 26.2 and 26.3, with files for Fabric and NeoForge dated 2026-10-08 for 26.3. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Gravestone ZT, Pet Status and Combat Indicators are among the mods that depend on it.
Key features
Shared registration utilities
Helpers for registering items, blocks, block entities and entity types, used by dependent mods so content is added the same way on each loader.
World-space text display
Support for floating text labels in the world, the kind used by features such as Gravestone's floating labels.
Commands and key bindings
Lightweight configuration commands and key bindings let players and server owners manage the controls that dependent mods expose.
Standalone content
Zero Lib adds a few items, blocks, commands and menus of its own, apart from the support it gives other mods.
