How do I install Material Lib?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does Material Lib work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.11, 1.21.1, 1.21.4. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Material Lib

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

This is just a library mod and won't add anything on its own. It is used in TheElementGuy's More Metals and Ores, my other mod.

Each version starts with the minor and then the patch version of its corresponding Minecraft version. The parent mod should inform you of which version to use.

For developers:
If you want to use this to make a mod, you're in luck! It should be easy to use. There are Javadoc comments throughout the code. See the GitHub repository for more.
