Zero Lib

Zero Lib is the shared runtime library for Zero Team Minecraft: Java Edition mods. It provides a small, stable cross-loader foundation so dependent mods can support Fabric and NeoForge without duplicating common code.

This is a library mod. It does not add standalone gameplay content. Install it only when another mod lists Zero Lib as a required dependency.

Features

• Shared runtime used by Zero Team mods
• Dedicated Fabric and NeoForge builds
• Compatible with clients, integrated servers, and dedicated servers
• Small, deliberately stable API focused on reusable cross-loader helpers

Installation

1. Install the build matching your mod loader and Minecraft version.
2. Install Architectury API.
3. On Fabric, also install Fabric API.
4. Install the Zero Team mod that requires Zero Lib.

Zero Lib and its dependent mods must be installed on both the client and server.

Requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 26.2
• Java 25 or newer
• Architectury API
• Fabric API on Fabric

About Zero Lib

Zero Lib is the shared library required by Zero Team gameplay mods for Minecraft: Java Edition. Install it to run Accessories, Dynamite, Grappling Hook, Gravestone, or Horse Whistle. Without the required Zero Lib version, those mods will not load.

Zero Lib does not add standalone items, blocks, commands, menus, or mechanics. It provides the common foundation that lets dependent mods register their content and display information consistently on Fabric and NeoForge.

Why download Zero Lib?

• It is a required dependency for supported Zero Team mods.
• One shared implementation keeps their core behavior consistent across Fabric and NeoForge.
• It works in single-player, multiplayer, and on dedicated servers.
• It is lightweight and has no configuration, commands, key bindings, or player-facing controls to manage.

Features

• Shared registration utilities for items, blocks, block entities, and entity types.
• World-space text display support used for features such as Gravestone's floating labels.
• Common initialization and runtime behavior for Fabric and NeoForge versions of dependent mods.
• Support for clients, integrated servers, and dedicated servers.

What players will notice

Players do not interact with Zero Lib directly. The mod loader starts it automatically, and installed Zero Team mods use its shared services when needed. Any visible item, block, entity, label, or gameplay mechanic comes from the dependent gameplay mod.

If a mod or modpack lists Zero Lib as a dependency, keep it installed on every client and server using that mod set.

Installation

1. Download the Zero Lib file matching Minecraft 26.2 and your loader. Fabric and NeoForge files are not interchangeable.
2. Install Architectury API.
3. On Fabric, also install Fabric API.
4. Install the Zero Team mod that requires Zero Lib.

Zero Lib and its dependent mods must be installed on both the client and server.

Compatibility and requirements

• Minecraft Java Edition 26.2
• Java 25 or newer
• Fabric Loader or NeoForge
• Architectury API
• Fabric API on Fabric

Zero Lib currently has no configuration options. Use the version and installation instructions of the dependent mod when assembling a client, server, or modpack.
