Kambrik Wiki

Kambrik (mod id kambrik) is a lightweight Kotlin library and framework mod. Its purpose is to give Kotlin-based mods a ready-made toolkit of helpers and utilities, so mod authors do not have to rewrite the same boilerplate in every project.

What it provides:

• A concise registration / content-building DSL for declaring blocks, items and other content.
• Shared Kotlin helpers and convenience utilities used across a mod's codebase.
• Small framework pieces that dependent mods reuse.

Kambrik has no player-facing content of its own - it adds no gameplay blocks, items, mobs, or mechanics, and it does nothing visible in-game on its own. You only ever install it because another mod lists it as a required dependency.

Install Kambrik whenever a mod you use lists it as a dependency. If it is missing, those mods will fail to load and the game will report a missing-dependency error for the mod id kambrik.

• Bountiful is built on Kambrik and will not run without it.
• Other Kotlin mods by the same author and ecosystem also depend on it.

The rule of thumb is simple: add Kambrik when a mod tells you to, and leave it out otherwise. The mod that requires it provides the actual gameplay.

Kambrik is meant to be consumed by other mods as a dependency (mod id kambrik). Declare it in your mod metadata so the game enforces load order, and note that it targets Kotlin mods (it expects a Kotlin runtime library to be present).

What it provides for developers:

• Registration DSL - concise helpers for registering and building content without repetitive boilerplate.
• Kotlin convenience utilities - shared extensions and helpers used throughout a mod.
• Framework helpers - small building blocks that dependent mods reuse.

Consult the upstream Kambrik source and its use inside Bountiful for the current API surface and version coordinates.

What does Kambrik do on its own? Nothing visible - it is a library. It only matters when another mod depends on it.

A mod says it needs "kambrik" / Kambrik - what do I do? Add Kambrik to your mods folder alongside that mod, then launch again.

I get a missing-dependency error for kambrik. A mod needs Kambrik but it is not installed (or the version is wrong). Install a matching Kambrik build so the mod can load.

Do I need it if no mod asks for it? No. It has no content, so there is no reason to install it unless a mod requires it.

Is it safe to add or remove? It adds nothing to your world by itself, so it is safe to add or remove as your mod list requires - as long as no installed mod still depends on it.
