ForgedFabric API
A partial reimplementation of the Fabric API on Forge
About this Mod
ForgedFabric is a partial reimplementation of the Fabric API on Forge. Same idea as QuiltMC/quilted-fabric-api but much less comprehensive (for now).
Useful in porting mods from fabric to forge and developing multiplatform mods in general.
It's currently in the early very stages of development. I'm only implementing parts as they're used by mods that I'm working on.
Eventually it should transition to being a fork of FabricMC/fabric and trying to maintain parity with the full fabric api.
This is a utility for mod developers, it adds no content on its own! Please do not install this expecting it to magically make any random fabric mod work on forge... yet.
- See the wiki for information about how this works for developers.

ForgedFabric API 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 (1.16.5). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is ForgedFabric API compatible with forge?
ForgedFabric API officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.16.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with ForgedFabric API – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if ForgedFabric API 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.
