Porting Lib

A collection of utilities for porting mods from Forge to Fabric.

Use

Porting Lib is split into modules. All modules are available on this maven:

maven { url = "https://mvn.devos.one/releases/" }

You can depend on Porting Lib like this once you add the maven:

modImplementation(include("io.github.fabricators_of_create.Porting-Lib:<module>:<version>"))

You can find the latest version on Modrinth. Just choose a version and use its version number.
