BCLib Forge
An unofficial port of the BCLib library mod for BetterX mods to Forge 1.20.1
About this Mod
BCLib (Unofficial Forge Port) — Minecraft 1.20.1
This project is an unofficial port of BCLib to Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1.
It exists to make mods that depend on BCLib available on Forge for modern Minecraft versions.
Forge only (not Fabric).
What this project does
Provides the BCLib library on Forge for Minecraft 1.20.1 (a dependency/utility library used by other mods, for example, Forge ports of BetterEnd/BetterNether).
The goal is to keep functionality as close to upstream as possible, with only porting/compatibility changes where required.
Why download it
Download this only if a mod/modpack requires BCLib on Forge.
BCLib is a library and typically does not add standalone gameplay content on its own.
Required on: both client and server.
How this project differs from the original
- Loader/platform: Forge (upstream is Fabric)
- Goal: compatibility for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge
- Scope: upstream-accurate behavior where possible; compatibility fixes when needed

Server lagging with BCLib Forge – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if BCLib Forge consumes the most tick time.
