LibraryOverview
BCLib is a library mod created by Quiqueck. A shared library for Better End and Better Nether providing biome registration, structure tools, and common utilities. As a library mod it concentrates on shared code that other mods build on, and it has been downloaded around 30 million times, which puts it among the options players reach for in this space.
BCLib is built for players installing Better End or Better Nether, which require it. BCLib is the shared library behind the Better End and Better Nether mods, installed as their dependency. It is approachable enough to drop into a world and use right away, with little setup required.
The mod is available for Forge and Fabric, so it fits a range of modpacks and launchers. It currently targets Minecraft 1.20.1. It runs on both the client and the server, so on a multiplayer server every player who connects needs it installed alongside the server itself.

How to install BCLib
BCLib supports Forge and Fabric; pick one loader (you cannot mix them) and install it for your chosen Minecraft version. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1, so match your profile to that version.
- 1Choose and install one mod loader from Forge and Fabric for a Minecraft version this mod supports (1.20.1).
- 2Check the download page for any required libraries. BCLib lists no hard dependencies here, but it is always worth confirming for your exact version.
- 3Drop the BCLib .jar file into your instance's mods folder. On a server, place it in the server's mods folder instead, and make sure every connecting player has it too.
- 4Launch the game with that loader profile and confirm BCLib appears in the in-game mods list; if it does not load, re-check the loader, the Minecraft version, and any library requirements.
Supported Minecraft version: 1.20.1.
