Nitrogen — Guide
Which Mods Need It
Install Nitrogen whenever a mod lists it as a dependency (mod id nitrogen_internals). Without it, those mods will fail to load.
- The Aether series relies on Nitrogen for its shared internal systems.
- It is usually installed automatically as a companion to those mods rather than on its own.
If no installed mod requires it, you do not need Nitrogen.
Developer API
Nitrogen is consumed by other mods as a dependency (mod id nitrogen_internals) and is typically pulled in as a companion to the mods that use it.
Adding it to a dev environment (Gradle): declare a modImplementation dependency on the Nitrogen artifact matching your Minecraft version and loader, and reference the mod id nitrogen_internals in your mod metadata.
