Zine Mod (1.21.7) is a lightweight library mod created by popular mod developer and YouTuber EightSidedSquare, built to support and streamline the development of their Minecraft mod collection. While the mod itself doesn’t add new content or features to the game, it plays a critical role behind the scenes by serving as a shared dependency required by several of EightSidedSquare’s other creations.
Zine handles core functions, shared logic, and reusable systems that keep the developer’s mods modular, efficient, and easier to maintain. If you’re installing one or more of EightSidedSquare’s mods and see Zine listed as a required dependency, you’ll need to include it in your mod list for everything to function properly.

Features:
- Acts as a core library for mods developed by EightSidedSquare
- Simplifies development through shared code and internal systems
- Does not add new blocks, items, or mechanics into the game
- Required only when installing dependent mods that rely on it
- Keeps individual mods lightweight by offloading shared functionality

Why use Zine Mod?
If you’re using any Minecraft mods created by EightSidedSquare, Zine Mod ensures they run smoothly.

Much like other mod libraries (e.g., Cloth Config, Architectury), Zine reduces code duplication and makes mod updates faster and more reliable.
