Unified API

Unified API

Unified API is a cross-loader API for both Fabric & NeoForge that enables you to create multiloader mods at no additional effort.

This is accomplished through Unified API's custom registries, events and helpers which replace the need for platform-specific code in favour of using Unified API's common-friendly, well-documented alternatives.

Unified API was built on Unimined, and has no dependencies - simply Fabric API for Fabric, or base NeoForge for NeoForge.

For comprehensive documentation alongside a setup guide, check out unified-api.dev

Registries include:

• Items
• Blocks
• Entity Types
• Block Entity Types
• Creative Tabs
• Mob Effects
• Data Component Types
• Particle Types
• Sound Events
• Key Mappings

Helpers include:

• Platform (check for mods / modloader)
• Packs (register internal data / resource packs)
• Creative Entries (add items to creative tabs)
• Loot Tables (append any loot table in a multiloader-friendly manner)
• Networking (register, send & handle packets)
• Strippable Blocks (make logs strippable)
• Block Layers (determine client-side block rendering)
• Particle Providers (create custom particles for the client)
• Entity Renderers (setup rendering for custom entity / block entity models & textures)
• Tooltips (bind custom client tooltip information to a tooltip, similarly to bundles)

Events include:

• Item Components (filter for & modify the default components on any item)
• Commands (create custom commands)
• Players (run code on player events such as join/leave/respawn)
• Ticks (run code at the start / end of client ticks, such as custom keybind code)
• Guis (append hud rendering such as crosshair and hotbar rendering)
• Screens (access AbstractContainerScreen in order to create custom mouse behaviour)

Components include:

• Furnace Fuel (easily specify custom furnace fuel durations for any item)
