Prepares the build for 26.x, which ships unobfuscated and needs Java 25 (#39): - loom-back-compat applies the remapping Loom to 1.21.x and would apply the plain one to 26.x. loom_version becomes loomx.loom_version. - Each version compiles with its Java toolchain (21 for 1.21.x, 25 for 26.x), and the mixin configs take their compatibility level from it. The foojay resolver downloads a missing JDK; CI installs 21 and 25. - buildAll collects remapJar's output, or jar's where there's nothing to remap. - fabric.mod.json depends on fabric-api, Fabric API's mod id; 26.x's jar no longer provides the old "fabric" alias. Nothing changes for the 1.21.x jars. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

- Put it in your
modsfolder.
Network use
For cosmetics, Saturn Client connects to the Saturn server (saturn-server.selimaj.dev). You're signed in the same way as on an online-mode Minecraft server: your client proves who you are to Mojang's session server, and the Saturn server asks Mojang to confirm it. Your Minecraft access token is only ever sent to Mojang, never to the Saturn server.
Building from source
The version-independent code lives in the common submodule, so clone with submodules:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://git.selimaj.dev/saturnclientmc/saturnclient.git
cd saturnclient
./gradlew buildAll # every version → build/allJars/
./gradlew :1.21.11:build # a single version
./gradlew :1.21.11:runClient # launch a development client
Building needs Java 21.
Contributing
We welcome contributions of all kinds:
- Code improvements
- Bug fixes
- UI enhancements
- Cosmetic designs
- Suggestions and feedback
If you're an artist or designer interested in helping with cosmetics or visual assets, we'd love to collaborate.
Most features belong in common, which every Minecraft version shares. For code that differs between versions, see the version guide: it covers how the versions share one copy of the code with Stonecutter, writing version-specific code, and adding a new Minecraft version. Every pull request is compiled for all versions automatically.
