# Compose API – Fabric<\/p>\n
Compose API, imports the dependencies required for JetBrains technology called Compose.
\nThis mod does not add any features on its own.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Why ?
\nCompose is a technology I’ll be using in a major upcoming mod that has been in development for years.<\/p>\n
With the following benefits :
\n– No need to include it in your mods.
\n– Can be reused by multiple mods.
\n– Supports MacOS ARM, Windows x64, and Linux x64.
\n– Includes a minimal API that disables Compose if unavailable.
\n– Avoids re-downloading Compose entirely when mods that use it are updated.
\n– Compose has an interesting Vulkan-compatible backend<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
## Voxel Studio Pro :
\nIn future mods it will allow integrating an in-game interface similar to Hytale’s asset editor, or to Unity\/Unreal Engine. A game editor built into the game, which can be used either:
\n– **For players**, Customize your gameplay experience.
\n– **For developers**, making it much easier to develop datapack\/resource pack\/mods content and manage modpacks.
\n– **For game designer**, Easily adjust the game balancing without bothering the developers, Amazing for a server.<\/p>\n

## How to install “`gradle `compose.desktop.currentOs` is a helper from the Compose Gradle plugin that resolves to the Compose Desktop artifact matching the host OS at build time, pulling in the right native Skia\/Skiko<\/p>\n “`gradle If you prefer to specify the Compose API versions in **gradle.properties**, you can use a variable `modImplementation “maven.modrinth:compose-api:${project.compose_api_version}”` “`gradle <\/p>\n ## What does it contain? This mod gives you access to : `ComposeAPI.isAvailable` function, which checks whether the operating system is compatible. This allows mod developers to simply disable their composite interfaces if the user’s system is not compatible.<\/p>\n Everything else is available in the documentation from Google and JetBrains, the creators of Compose.

\nJetBrains Compose uses Kotlin, so don’t forget to install the mods.<\/p>\nStep one – Add Modrinth to your gradle repository :<\/summary>\n
\nrepositories {
\n maven {
\n name = “Modrinth”
\n url = “https:\/\/api.modrinth.com\/maven”
\n content {
\n includeGroup “maven.modrinth”
\n }
\n }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n<\/details>\nStep two – Add Compose to your Gradle Dependencies<\/summary>\n
\n\/\/ Change the version if needed
\nmodImplementation “maven.modrinth:compose-api:1.2.0”
\nimplementation compose.desktop.currentOs
\n“`<\/p>\n
\nWith the version in **gradle.properties** `compose_api_version=1.2.0`<\/p>\n<\/details>\nStep three – Add Jetbrains Plugin in Grandle<\/summary>\n
\nplugins {
\n \/\/ … Your Kotlin\/Loom
\n id ‘org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.compose’ version ‘2.3.10’
\n id ‘org.jetbrains.compose’ version ‘1.9.1’
\n}

\nThis mod contains all the dependencies required for Compose to work on MacOS ARM, Windows x64, and Linux x64. It can be used by any other modder.
\nIt does not include Kotlin dependencies to avoid downloading them twice, with the Fabric Kotlin mods.<\/p>\n
\n– The `androidx.compose.*` API.
\n– The Jetbrains Skia `org.jetbrains.skia` API<\/p>\n
