# About

> I'm Xichil and I make Minecraft mods, libraries, and plugins that run on as many versions and loaders as I can.

URL: https://xichil.dev/about/

I make Minecraft mods and plugins: Fabric and NeoForge/Forge mods, libraries for other modders, and Paper/Spigot plugins.

What I care about most is compatibility. I want my projects to work on whichever Minecraft version and loader you
happen to play on, not just the newest one. Settings Saver and Xi's Multiversion UI Lib, for example, run on every
version from 1.7.10 all the way to 26.3, on Fabric, Quilt, Legacy Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with one jar per
loader family.

## My projects

- [Item Nametags](https://xichil.dev/wiki/item-nametags/v2/index.md): a Paper and Purpur plugin for Minecraft 1.20 to 26.3. It
  puts a name tag above dropped items so you can see what they are and how many there are at a glance. It's out on
  Modrinth.
- [Settings Saver](https://xichil.dev/wiki/settings-saver/v0/index.md): a client mod for anyone tired of redoing their settings.
  Save them once and every new instance starts with them. It's in review on Modrinth right now.
- [Xi's Multiversion UI Lib](https://xichil.dev/docs/xis-mvui/v1/index.md): a library that lets you write a mod menu once with
  plain Java widgets and have it run on every supported version and loader. I'm still building it.

Once Xi's Multiversion UI Lib ships, I have more projects lined up, and they'll all be built on top of it.

Every project has a wiki that explains how to use it. The ones with a public API also have developer docs.

## Analytics

I count visits to this site, and I keep it as private as I can. There are no cookies and no tracking scripts, and I never
store IP addresses. The visitor count comes from a hash that is mixed with a salt, and the salt is deleted every day, so
nobody can be recognised from one day to the next. For each visit I record only:

- the page and the time
- the referrer's domain, such as `modrinth.com`
- the country
- the device type
- whether the visitor is a person, an AI or a crawler, and which AI it is

The detailed records are deleted after 90 days.

## Where to find me

You can find me on Modrinth and CurseForge, or send me an email. The links are below. If you'd like me to build
something for you, have a look at [Commissions](https://xichil.dev/commissions/index.md).
