Balm

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 mods 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
• Unified support for Third Party Mods like Curios/Trinkets or Jade/TheOneProbe

How to make a mod with Balm (as a mod developer)
