Composer
A library mod created to improve the QOL of developing fabric mods.
What is Composer?
Composer is a general-purpose Fabric library mod developed under Project Codex. It provides shared systems, utilities, and architectural building blocks used across multiple mods, with a focus on clean APIs, long-term stability, and multi-version support.
Composer does not add gameplay content on its own (except for a plushie). It exists to support other mods at runtime and during development.
