download Skip to Downloads

The KotlinLangForge Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a lightweight yet essential library designed to bring Kotlin language compatibility to both Forge and NeoForge modding platforms. Tailored for developers who prefer writing mods in Kotlin rather than Java, this adapter ensures smoother Kotlin integration within Minecraft’s modding ecosystem. Although it doesn’t add new in-game content, it serves as a critical dependency for other Kotlin-based mods.

Why use KotlinLangForge Mod?

As Kotlin grows in popularity among modern developers, many prefer its concise syntax, null safety, and expressive power over Java. The KotlinLangForge Mod makes it possible to build and run Minecraft mods using Kotlin on both Forge and NeoForge, without worrying about language incompatibility.

This is especially useful for:

  • Kotlin developers entering the Minecraft modding scene.
  • Modpacks containing Kotlin-based mods.
  • Teams migrating existing Forge mods from Java to Kotlin.

Without this adapter, any Kotlin-based mod would fail to launch, making KotlinLangForge a vital part of any development environment using Kotlin.
