Ash API
An abstraction layer between Fabric, Forge, and Quilt's APIs.
Quick answer
Which Ash API release should I use?
Ash API [Fabric 1.21.5] v21.5.1 targets 1.21.5 with Fabric, Quilt. The project page does not say whether this file belongs on the client, dedicated server, or both. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
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.
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.
Install Fabric API first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

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.
Support the development of my mods on Ko-fi.
