Kirin
GUI Library for help with making minecraft screens more easily
Quick answer
Which Kirin release should I use?
Kirin 1.22.0+26.2 targets 26.2 with Fabric, Quilt. It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server. All 1 required mods have matching files.
Where it goes
Is Kirin required on the client, server, or both?
It must be installed on the client. Do not install it on the dedicated server.
This file is marked client-only.
What else does Kirin 1.22.0+26.2 need?
1.22.0+26.2. Change the file and its required mods may change too.
Install Fabric API first. We found matching files for this game-version and loader setup.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Kirin add?
Kirin UI
Embedded common code used across several Mine Little Pony projects to create their GUIs.
If you're a player
This mod is a library and is usually embedded or installed as a dependency for other mods, so installing it on its own doesn't do anything.
It will occasionally get updates independent of other projects that depend on it, so whilst installing it separately is not recommended it is permitted if you're having issues that updating solves but the downstream project hasn't (or can't) be updated for whatever reason.
If you're a mod developer
Kirin provides support for creating GUIs, and hooking into existing GUIs to add a variety of different controls: Buttons, Toggles, Cyclers, and scrolling containers that makes them both simpler and easier to configure, with more customisation options than the regular game's classes. It also provides an advanced configuration system for loading a config file in json format with support for live updates whilst the game is running.
For more on how to use it, I recommend checking out the projects source on github.
