About this Mod

This requires the Cyclops Core library!
Come talk to us in #commoncapabilities on the Cyclops Discord server!

This mod improves mod interactions, which are possible because of Forge's new capability system.
This does not provide any actual new content, it only improves existing interactions.
The goal of this mod is to provide standard capabilities that are useful for different mods, without those mods having to depend on each other.

Initially, this mod was part of Integrated Dynamics, to improve the 'readability' for various mods. This has been separated into this new mod because other mods might also benefit from these capabilities without having to depend on Integrated Dynamics.

This mod provides the following capabilities to the following mods (annotated with Minecraft version applicability):

Worker

  • Vanilla Minecraft (all Minecraft versions)
  • Ender IO (1.7)
  • Forestry (1.7, 1.12)
  • IC2 (1.7)
  • Tinkers' Construct (1.7, 1.12)
  • EvilCraft (all Minecraft versions)
  • Thermal Expansion (1.7, 1.12)

  • Colossal Chests (all Minecraft versions)
  • Integrated Tunnels (all Minecraft versions)

  • Integrated Dynamics (all Minecraft versions)
  • Ender IO (1.7)
  • Forestry (1.7, 1.12)
  • IC2 (1.7)

  • Vanilla (1.7, 1.12, 1.16): Shulker Boxes and Bundles in item-form.

Capability Delegation

Energy, Item and Fluid handlers from item entities and items inside item frames are delegated to the entity itself.
The Ingredients Components API, an abstraction layer for working with items, fluids and energy in a generic way.
Every aspect of this mod can be configured to disable interactions.

 

This mod is responsible for registering the capabilities from the Common Capabilities API, it also provides default implementations of these capabilities for various mods.

 

This mod collects anonymized startup data, this can be disabled in the config file and adheres to Minecraft's snooper settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Capabilities server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Common Capabilities compatible with forge and neoforge?

Common Capabilities officially supports forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 1.21.11. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Common Capabilities – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Common Capabilities 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.
