Data Anchor Mod

What Data Anchor Does

Data Anchor is a small, single-purpose library mod aimed at mod developers rather than players. It provides utilities for attaching custom data to entities, chunks, players, levels, and block entities, using a low-code system that keeps boilerplate to a minimum. It is built from the ground up for multiloader compatibility, so the same mod code can target Forge, Fabric, and NeoForge.

Alongside data attachment, it offers a packet utility for handling network packets in all directions, simplifying communication between modded servers and clients across platforms.

What It Means for Players

Data Anchor has no direct player-facing content. You will not find new items, blocks, or recipes here. Instead, it powers other mods that rely on it for data integration and network communication. If a mod you use depends on Data Anchor, install it as a required dependency; otherwise, it simply sits quietly in the background enabling those mods to work.
