SparkyAPI
A lightweight client-side library for SparkNox mods. SparkyAPI doesn't add features on its own — it provides the shared backbone (config handling, event hooks, HUD rendering, keybind management, and utility functions) that other SparkNox mods like ZoroCrystal build on top of.
If you've ever used Fabric API, Cloth Config, or PlaceholderAPI, you already get the idea — install it once, and every mod that depends on it just works.
What's inside:
- Config system — saves and loads JSON configs to
.minecraft/config/sparky/, with sane defaults if a file doesn't exist yet. - Event bus — shared tick events (
PLAYER_TICK,CLIENT_TICK) so dependent mods don't each register their own listeners. - HUD helper — register persistent on-screen text lines, draw boxes, outlined panels, and shadowed text without boilerplate.
- Keybind manager — register keybinds with a single call and handle press logic automatically.
- Utility belt — common helpers like finding items in your hotbar/inventory, checking ping, distance calculations, and more.
SparkyAPI is built for Fabric 1.21.4, is client-side only, and has no gameplay impact by itself. It exists purely to keep dependent mods lighter, more consistent, and easier to maintain.
If a mod tells you it needs SparkyAPI, this is the one to grab. 🔧
