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)
