What Fabric API Javadocs Are Used For
Fabric API Javadocs are mainly for mod developers who need to inspect packages, classes, events, and method signatures.
The Fabric API Javadocs are developer documentation generated from the Fabric API source code. They are useful when you are writing a mod and need to know which packages, classes, interfaces, events, or methods are available in a specific API version.
Players usually do not need Javadocs to install mods. Developers use them to inspect event names, registry helpers, networking APIs, rendering hooks, lifecycle events, and other pieces of Fabric API.
Why versioned docs matter
Fabric API changes over time. A method that exists in one version may move, change, or be removed later. Checking the Javadocs for the version you are targeting helps avoid code that compiles against the wrong API build.
How to use them
Start with the package list or overview tree, then open the class or interface that matches the feature you are working with. For broader setup help, use the Fabric developer guide together with the Javadocs.
