Overview

Ash API is a library mod. It does not add blocks, items, mobs or world generation, and it changes nothing about how the game plays. Instead it sits underneath other mods and gives them one shared way of doing the handful of things almost every mod needs.

Minecraft mods are normally written against a specific mod loader, and the same feature has to be written twice if the author wants to support more than one. Ash API removes that duplication: a mod written against it asks Ash API for what it needs, and Ash API talks to whichever loader is actually running.

For a player this means one thing only — some mods list Ash API as a requirement, and they will not start without it. Once installed it runs silently in the background.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ash API?
Ash API is a shared bridge mod that helps other mods work across both major mod loaders. It runs silently in the background and adds no blocks, items, or mobs of its own.
Do I need to install separate versions of dependent mods for each loader?
No. Ash API lets dependent mods work on both platforms without needing separate files.
Does Ash API change my gameplay?
No. It adds no blocks, items, or mobs and keeps your gameplay unchanged.
How does Ash API store settings?
It saves settings in JSON format with automatic version tracking.
