Quick answer

Game version 1.21.5
Loader Fabric, Quilt

Where it goes

Is Ash API required on the client, server, or both?

The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both.

Client Source doesn’t say
Dedicated server Source doesn’t say
Loader for this release Fabric, Quilt
Required install it here Optional supported, not mandatory Not supported do not install here Source doesn’t say do not assume

The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.

What else does Ash API [Fabric 1.21.5] v21.5.1 need?

[Fabric 1.21.5] v21.5.1. Change the file and its required mods may change too.

1 required mod needs a matching file

Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.

About this project

What does Ash API add?

An API that provides an abstraction layer between the three main Minecraft mod loaders (Fabric, Forge, and Quilt).

It is meant to be used with a multi-loader development environment such as Jared's MultiLoader-Template.

Mods using Ash API

Implemented APIs

Full documentation of all implemented APIs will be available soon. Currently, Javadocs are available within the code.

As of v1.0.0 it provides APIs for:

  • KeyMappingRegistry
  • ClientTickEvents
  • UseBlockEvent
  • ModLoader
  • ResourceLoader
  • ModOptions
  • ModOptionsScreen

A changelog is available here.

Features are currently added in order of what I need for my mods, however it is intended that Ash API will be usable by any developer using a multi-loader development environment.

Pull requests are highly appreciated. However, please discuss them in my Discord first.


Report any issues on GitHub. Chat on Discord in the #ash-api channel.
