Description
Balm is a library mod for mod developers that simplifies the process of creating multi-loader mods by providing common interfaces and events and removing the need for most mod-loader specific code.
It is not a magic solution for running Forge and Fabric mods together. As a user, you only need to install this mod if you use a mod that requires it.
Versions for Minecraft 1.16 and below are not needed - mods will run without Balm on those versions!
Key Points
- No custom Gradle tooling, official mod loader plugins only
- Uses Mojang Mappings, supports Jared's Multiloader-Template
- All-inclusive from networking to configs, no third party dependencies
- Battle-tested across Blay's 20+ mods ranging from content additions to quality of life utilities
- Supports NeoForge and Fabric without duplicate code
- Snapshot builds for pre-releases and release candidates
- Unified support for Third Party Mods like Curios or Jade
- Available on CurseForge and Modrinth (incl. Third Party Access)
How to make a mod with Balm (as a mod developer)
- Check out the documentation for a Getting Started guide and a project generator.
- You can also use this template repository as a starting point or reference.
- Consider browsing Blay's existing mods' source code to learn how specific things are done.
- Join Blay and other developers using Balm on the Balm Developers Discord server.
