What Is Balm? A Multi‑Loader Library Mod for Minecraft 1.21.5+
Quick Links:
- NeoForge, Forge, and Fabric builds are available for Minecraft 1.21.5 and newer.
- Fabric releases for versions 1.21.1 and older are hosted on the legacy project page.
- Minecraft 1.16 and earlier do not require Balm at all – mods run without the library on those versions.
Balm is a library mod designed to help mod developers create multi‑loader mods more easily. It supplies shared interfaces and events, reducing the need for loader‑specific code.
It is not a universal compatibility layer that allows Forge and Fabric mods to run side by side. As a player, you only need to install Balm when a mod you use explicitly depends on it.

Common Questions
Balm is a library mod that helps mod developers create mods that work on NeoForge, Forge and Fabric without duplicate code. As a player, you only need it if a mod you use requires it.
Balm supports 1.21.5+ on NeoForge, Forge and Fabric. Older versions (1.21.1 and below) have separate Fabric builds on an older project. Versions below 1.16 do not need Balm at all.
Download the correct version for your mod loader (NeoForge, Forge or Fabric) from CurseForge. Place it in your mods folder, or use the CurseForge App to install automatically when you add a mod that requires Balm.
