explain_fabric_concept
Get detailed explanation of a Fabric or Minecraft modding concept. Use this to understand fundamental concepts, terminology, or architectural patterns.
LABSCO SUMMARY
It answers Fabric questions from an index, so ask it what it covers first.
All four tools read; none of them touches your mod project. get_minecraft_version is the honest opening call because it reports which versions the indexed documentation actually carries, and that determines whether a code example you get back applies to the version you are targeting. get_example is the tool doing the real work — it returns full snippets with their source documentation attached rather than a fragment you have to place yourself.
What it is
A documentation-retrieval server over an index of Fabric modding material — guides, API information, concepts and code examples.
What you get
- Search across Fabric modding documentation by query and category
- Code examples for a topic, returned with explanations, source documentation and metadata, and filterable by minecraft_version, loader and language
- Explanations of a named Fabric or Minecraft modding concept, including terminology and architectural patterns
- The Minecraft versions present in the index — the latest one or all of them
Requirements
Nothing — no account, no key.
Setup effort
Follow the published steps — npm install -g mcmodding-mcp
USE CASES
01
Starting a mod on a Minecraft version you have not targeted before
Check which versions the index actually covers, find the guides for the feature you are adding, and pull an example pinned to that version and loader rather than adapting one written for another.
02
Getting unstuck on a term the tutorial assumed you knew
Ask for the concept itself — what it is and how the pieces fit — then go back to the documentation for the specific API once the shape of it makes sense.
4 tools
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
get_example
Get code examples for Minecraft modding topics. Returns complete, working code snippets with full context including explanations, source documentation, and metadata. Use this when you need concrete code examples for implementing features.
get_minecraft_version
Get Minecraft version information from the indexed documentation. Returns either the latest version or all available versions.
search_fabric_docs
Search Fabric modding documentation for guides and API information. Use this when you need to find documentation about Fabric modding features, APIs, or tutorials.
