TurtleLib
Shared helper library for my and your Fabric/NeoForge mods. I use it in my own mods, but you can use it for your own mods also.
About this Mod
A lightweight helper library for Minecraft mods on Fabric and NeoForge. TurtleLib does not add gameplay on its own — it provides shared technical systems used by other mods.
TurtleLib is a dependency library designed to keep mod code cleaner and more reusable across loaders.If a mod requires TurtleLib, it must be installed in the same mods/ folder.

- Locale loading and synchronization (
LangLoader) - Localized message formatting (

Server lagging with TurtleLib – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if TurtleLib consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
