NeoForge, Forge and Fabric versions for 1.21.5+
Fabric versions for 1.21.1 and below are found on the older project
Versions for Minecraft 1.16 and below are not needed - mods will run without Balm on those versions!

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.

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, Fabric and Forge without duplicate code
Snapshots builds for pre-releases and release candidates
Unified support for Third Party Mods like Curios/Trinkets or Jade/TheOneProbe
Available on CurseForge and Modrinth (incl. Third Party Access)
