Full description (from modmuss50)

# Fabric API

Essential hooks for modding with Fabric.

Fabric API is the library for essential hooks and interoperability mechanisms for Fabric mods. Examples include:

  • Exposing functionality that is useful but difficult to access for many mods such as particles, biomes and dimensions
  • Adding events, hooks and APIs to improve interoperability between mods.
  • Essential features such as registry synchronization and adding information to crash reports.
  • An advanced rendering API designed for compatibility with optimization mods and graphics overhaul mods.

Also check out [Fabric Loader](https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-loader), the (mostly) version-independent mod loader that powers Fabric. Fabric API is a mod like any other Fabric mod which requires Fabric Loader to be installed.

For support and discussion for both developers and users, visit [the Fabric Discord server](https://discord.gg/v6v4pMv).

Using Fabric API to play with mods

Make sure you have installed fabric loader first. More information about installing Fabric Loader can be found [here](https://fabricmc.net/use/).
