Commons

Commons is the shared reference foundation and in-game knowledge interface for compatible Minecraft Fabric mods.

One shared reference

Compatible mods can contribute guides, explanations and reference articles to a single interface. Commons itself does not ship specialist articles or add specialist gameplay.

Find what you need

Browse searchable categories and articles, and follow related-article navigation. Clear module labels identify each contribution. Back and Escape return through your reading history. Knowledge content supports client-side localization, keyboard navigation and narration.

Built into the game

Open Commons from the in-game pause menu. You can also assign Open Commons under Controls → Key Binds → Commons; the keybinding is unbound by default.

Multiplayer-aware

The server synchronizes the available knowledge presentation to connected clients. Install matching Commons versions on client and server. Reopen the interface after a server reload to view updated content.

Designed to grow

Commons provides shared knowledge infrastructure while compatible mods retain their own gameplay systems.

Requirements and installation

For Minecraft 26.3, install Commons 0.1.2 with Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or later and Fabric API 0.161.0+26.3 or later.

For Minecraft 26.2, install Commons 0.1.1 with Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or later and Fabric API 0.158.0+26.2 or later.

Place the matching Commons JAR in the mods folder on both client and server. Use the Commons version required by your installed mods. Java 25 is required. Fabric only.

Compatible mods supply the reference content. Commons can also launch alone with an empty knowledge presentation.
