Architectury API

Talk to us on Discord!

An intermediary api aimed to ease developing multiplatform mods.

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

Getting started with making multiplatform mods

Architectury Loom: https://github.com/architectury/architectury-loom (a fork of Fabric Loom adding multiplatform development capabilities)

Gradle Plugin: https://github.com/architectury/architectury-plugin (includes Architectury Injectables, for the @ExpectPlatform annotation)

Example Mod: https://github.com/architectury/architectury-example-mod (a discontinued example mod using Architectury, if possible, use the templates instead)

Mod Templates: https://github.com/architectury/architectury-templates (a set of templates to get started using the Architectury toolchain)

ABOUT THIS LISTING

This page describes Architectury API by shedaniel. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on Modrinth on 14 August 2026: https://modrinth.com/mod/architectury-api

Mythiq hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.modrinth.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.

The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.

MOD LOADER

This release is built for Fabric. A mod built for one loader will not load under another — Fabric mods do not run on Forge, and vice versa.

GAME VERSION

Built for Minecraft 26.2. Minecraft mods are tied to an exact version: a 1.21.4 build will refuse to load on 1.21.5.

THIS IS A LIBRARY

On its own it adds nothing you can see. It is here because other mods require it, and installing it is usually something another mod asked you to do.

DEPENDENCIES

Check the author's listing for required libraries before you start the game — a missing dependency shows up as a crash on launch, not as a warning.

1. Install Fabric for the Minecraft version you play, if you have not already.

2. Download the .jar with the button on this page. Do not unzip it — a mod jar is installed as it is.

3. Put it in your mods folder:

Windows — %APPDATA%\.minecraft\mods

macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods

Linux — ~/.minecraft/mods

4. Launch the game with the Fabric profile selected.

ON A SERVER

Anything that changes world generation or gameplay has to be installed on the server as well as on every client. Client-side visual and interface mods do not.

UPDATING

Replace the old .jar rather than adding the new one beside it. Two versions of the same mod in the folder is a crash on launch.
