About
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.
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, 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)
