Unified API
Unified API is a cross-loader API for both Fabric & NeoForge that enables you to create multiloader mods at no additional effort.
This is accomplished through Unified API's custom registries, events and helpers which replace the need for platform-specific code in favour of using Unified API's common-friendly, well-documented alternatives.
Unified API was built on Unimined, and has no dependencies - simply Fabric API for Fabric, or base NeoForge for NeoForge.

Registries include:
- Items
- Blocks
- Entity Types
- Block Entity Types
- Creative Tabs
- Mob Effects
- Data Component Types
- Particle Types
- Sound Events
- Key Mappings
Helpers include:
- Platform (check for mods / modloader)
- Packs (register internal data / resource packs)
- Creative Entries (add items to creative tabs)
- Loot Tables (append any loot table in a multiloader-friendly manner)
- Networking (register, send & handle packets)
- Strippable Blocks (make logs strippable)
- Block Layers (determine client-side block rendering)
- Particle Providers (create custom particles for the client)
- Entity Renderers (setup rendering for custom entity / block entity models & textures)
- Tooltips (bind custom client tooltip information to a tooltip, similarly to bundles)
Events include:
- Item Components (filter for & modify the default components on any item)
- Commands (create custom commands)
- Players (run code on player events such as join/leave/respawn)
- Ticks (run code at the start / end of client ticks, such as custom keybind code)
- Guis (append hud rendering such as crosshair and hotbar rendering)
- Screens (access AbstractContainerScreen in order to create custom mouse behaviour)
Components include:
- Furnace Fuel (easily specify custom furnace fuel durations for any item)
