Compat API is a library, management and utility Minecraft mod from FixerLink with 1.6K downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Forge and NeoForge, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Compat API is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Compat API already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Compat API along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.
Universal compat api that auto-loads integrations, data packs and loot modifiers for mods that depend on it.
How to install Compat API
Two ways to add Compat API to Minecraft. One takes a click.
The Orca way
- Click Play below. Orca installs Compat API with Forge and NeoForge and the right Minecraft version, then launches straight into the game.
That’s it. Nothing to download or configure.
The manual way
- Download the latest Compat API file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
- Install Forge and NeoForge and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.
- Drop the downloaded .jar into your mods folder (the mods folder inside .minecraft, or your server's mods folder).
- Add any libraries Compat API depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Forge and NeoForge profile.
