CraterLib
A Universal Modding API and Utilities library
About this Mod
CraterLib is a library mod used by the First Dark Development and HypherionSA's mods. This mod contains shared code that are used across multiple mods, as well as some platform helpers, to make Porting and Multiple Mod Loader support easier during development.
This mod does not do anything on its own, and requires a "Module" (or Mod that relies on this library) to perform any work. Other developers are welcome to use this library for their own projects, but keep in mind that it's primarily designed for our usage, and does not always contain all the features that other library mods contain.
When things go wrong, and they definitely do from time to time, you can open an Issue on Github if it's a bug or suggestion, or for quicker support, you can join our discord and ask your question in the appropriate channel

CraterLib server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is CraterLib compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
CraterLib officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with CraterLib – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if CraterLib consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
