Overview
What is the Utility Engine?
The Utility Engine is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21+ designed to bring the full power of Fabric modding directly into the game through Minecraft commands and datapack JSONs. This enables true hot-loading, allowing changes to be applied instantly on live worlds—even with players online. The result is a dramatic boost in development speed, cutting iteration times by up to 13x.
​
With Utility Engine, anyone with a basic understanding of datapacks can access the same functionality as full Fabric modding. It effectively acts as a cheat code for rapid, high-quality project creation, letting creators build complex systems in record time.
​
Beyond core Fabric tools, Utility Engine also unlocks access to Minecraft’s internal registries, enabling full editing of existing game code while the world is still running.
