Konkrete is a Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge library mod by Keksuccino that supplies shared UI, config, and math-expression tooling other mods build on. It has no menu, screen, or feature of its own; you only need it when another mod, most notably FancyMenu, lists it as a required dependency. Fabric and NeoForge builds currently reach 26.2, while Forge tops out at 1.21.8.
What Konkrete does
Konkrete bundles small Apache-2.0 libraries, including JsonPath and Json-smart for JSON parsing, Exp4j for math expression evaluation, and Open Imaging for image loading, and exposes them as shared APIs. Mods that use Konkrete pull config screens, layout widgets, and expression parsing from it instead of shipping duplicate code. Installed on its own, without a mod that requires it, Konkrete changes nothing in-game.
How to install Konkrete
- 1.Check which loader the mod that needs Konkrete uses, Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge, since the builds are not interchangeable.
- 2.Download the matching Konkrete build from its Modrinth or CurseForge page.
- 3.Drop the jar into your mods folder alongside the loader install and the mod that depends on it.
- 4.Launch the game once. There is no settings screen or menu for Konkrete itself; the dependent mod finds it automatically.

Loader and version support
Minecraft moved to year.drop versioning in 2026, so 26.x replaces the old 1.21.x numbering. Konkrete's Fabric and NeoForge builds already track it, both currently at 26.2, while the newest Forge build is versioned for 1.21.6 through 1.21.8 and has not yet published a matching 26.x release. Konkrete's overall history goes back to 1.12.2, but a mod that needs it will only ever require the specific loader and version range that mod itself supports.
Questions about Konkrete.
5 questions
What does Konkrete do?
Konkrete is a shared library mod, not a feature mod. It provides config file handling, UI widgets, and math expression parsing that other Keksuccino mods reuse instead of writing their own copies. Installed alone, it adds no menu, item, or setting; it only matters once a mod that depends on it is also installed.
How do I install Konkrete?
Download the Konkrete build for your loader, Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge, from Modrinth or CurseForge, and place the jar in your mods folder next to the mod that requires it. There is nothing to configure. Launching the game once lets the dependent mod detect Konkrete automatically.
What mods need Konkrete?
Konkrete is a required dependency of FancyMenu, along with several of Keksuccino's other Fabric mods, including SpiffyHUD, Drippy Loading Screen, Biomes In Jars, Just Nicks, Just Zoom, Panoramica, and Modern World Creation. Each of those projects lists Konkrete as a required dependency on its own Modrinth page.
Which Minecraft version does Konkrete support?
It depends on the loader. Fabric and NeoForge builds are currently versioned for 26.2, Minecraft's current year.drop release. The newest Forge build covers 1.21.6 through 1.21.8 and has not been updated to the 26.x numbering yet. Konkrete's project history stretches back to 1.12.2 across older releases.
Is Konkrete safe to use on multiplayer servers?
Konkrete runs on both the client and the dedicated server, since it is only a shared code library with no gameplay feature of its own. It is Apache-2.0 licensed, with source published on GitHub and distribution through Modrinth and CurseForge, so its origin and permissions are easy to verify.
