Launchpad

A small tool for developing NeoForge mods using Fabric conventions.

📖 About

Launchpad's main features include the following:

• Reading mod metadata from fabric.mod.json files
• Running standard mod entrypoints (preLaunch, client, main, server)
• Access transformation using Class Tweakers (or Access Wideners)
• Loading nested jar dependencies

Furthermore, we provide certain extensions on top of the Fabric standard described in Usage.

When to use Launchpad

Generally speaking, Launchpad works best for small to medium-sized Fabric mods that are already potentially compatible with NeoForge, just need that small final push to get them loaded.

Use Launchpad, when:

• You want to port your mod to NeoForge but don't have the time for a full, native port
• Your mod requires little to no changes to be compatible with NeoForge (mainly speaking of Mixins)
• You're fine with having extra dependencies on NeoForge, namely the Forgified Fabric API and Launchpad

When not to use Launchpad

Consider making a native port or using the MultiLoader template, when:

• You want to use NeoForge APIs extensively
• You want full control over your metadata or entrypoints
• You don't want extra dependencies
