Platforms
Katton targets the same script authoring model across Fabric, NeoForge, and Paper, but the platform boundaries are different.
Supported Minecraft Versions
| Minecraft | Fabric API | NeoForge | Paper development bundle |
|---|---|---|---|
26.1.2 | 0.144.0+26.1 | 26.1.2.30-beta | 26.1.2.build.71-stable |
26.2 | 0.154.0+26.2 | 26.2.0.7-beta | 26.2.build.41-alpha |
All targets require Java 25. The template generator keeps the Katton Maven coordinate and platform dependency aligned with the selected Minecraft version.
