Bento Box

by Chai · on Modrinth

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1Newest
Minecraft 1.20.3–1.20.4
Minecraft 1.20–1.20.2

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20.3–1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2

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.

Bento Box

Bento Box is a modular library with expressive GUIs, declarative configs, and more down the road!

For developers

Thanks to Bento Box being modular, you can depend on just the modules you need without pulling in everything else.

Bento modules include:

Bento Config, a declarative configuration system built using Bento GUI. It aims to be simple yet powerful, with no magic pre-processors or arbitrary limitations.
Bento GUI, an expressive GUI library that makes building dynamic screens fast and easy. It is a replacement for Minecraft’s UI widgets that is inspired by HTML and CSS, and uses the builder pattern for building GUI elements.
Bento Util, a general utility library that other Bento modules tend to make use of. It has a few things here you might find useful yourself!

Bento Box is documented in-code with JavaDocs and on my wiki.

For users

If you have multiple Bento modules (i.e. Bento Config, Bento GUI) in your mod list, you can replace them all with just Bento Box.
