What is Architectury API Mod?

Furthermore, the Architectury API also provides support for data pack loading, allowing mod developers to easily load and manipulate data packs from within their mods. This makes it easier to add custom recipes, loot tables, advancements, and other game content.

The API also provides an abstraction layer for mod loaders, allowing developers to write their mods once and have them run on both Fabric and Forge without the need for separate codebases. This is achieved through the use of a common set of interfaces that are implemented differently for each mod loader.

Finally, the Architectury API also includes support for mod configuration synchronization across multiplayer servers. This allows server administrators to control which mod settings are allowed on their server and ensures that all clients have the same settings.

Overall, the Architectury API is a powerful tool for Minecraft mod developers, providing a wide range of features and utilities that simplify mod development and improve compatibility between mods. Its open source nature and active community of developers also make it a great resource for learning and sharing knowledge about Minecraft modding.

❓What is Architectury API

Architectury API is an api to abstract calls to fabric api and forge api as both loader has different implementations of what can be perceived as the same thing.

Architectury API updates regularly, with new hooks and features. Currently contains over 90 events hooks, networking abstraction, loader calls abstraction, game registry abstraction and an easy to use @ExpectPlatform annotation (Only works on static methods).

➡️Do I really need this API?

Architectury API is only one part of the architectury ecosystem, Architectury Plugin is the gradle plugin enabling all this multiplatform actions.

Architectury API is optional for projects built on architectury, you may create your architectury project with just Architectury Plugin.

➡️Advantages of Architectury

• Open sourced
• Less boilerplate for your multiplatform mod

🔥Get Started With Architectury

🔔I don’t want Architectury API…

dependencies {
    // We depend on fabric loader here to use the fabric @Environment annotations and get the mixin dependencies
    // Do NOT use other classes from fabric loader
    modImplementation "net.fabricmc:fabric-loader:${rootProject.fabric_loader_version}"
    // Remove the next line if you don't want to depend on the API
-   modApi "dev.architectury:architectury:${rootProject.architectury_version}"
}

subprojects {
    apply plugin: "dev.architectury.loom"
 
    loom {

    }
 
    dependencies {
        minecraft "com.mojang:minecraft:${rootProject.minecraft_version}"
-       // The following line declares the mojmap mappings, you may use other mappings as well
-       mappings loom.officialMojangMappings()
        // The following line declares the yarn mappings you may select this one as well.
-       // mappings "net.fabricmc:yarn:@YARN_MAPPINGS@:v2"
+       mappings "net.fabricmc:yarn:@YARN_MAPPINGS@:v2"
