Native Addon Templates
Start with official templates for Native addons that target the ECHO Native Platform directly.
Developer Tools
ECHO Official SDK
Build on top of ECHO, not inside it.
The public SDK provides everything you need to create Native and Standalone addons: templates, manifest editors, build tooling, and a clear path to publishing.
What is included
Templates, schemas, tools, and a path to release.
The SDK is not just a spec. It is a working toolchain that takes an idea from template to published GitHub release.
Standalone Addon Templates
Build addons that run in the Standalone Runtime without NeoForge dependencies.
Manifest Schemas
Strict echo.mod.json schemas with validation, autocomplete, and PackOS policy checking.
Build Targets
One project builds for Native, Standalone, and optional NeoForge compatibility.
ECHO Addon Studio
The official desktop IDE for creating, testing, and publishing addons.
GitHub Release Publishing
Built-in publish assistant prepares release assets, checksums, and manifests for GitHub.
Native Addon
Targets the ECHO Native Platform
Native addons use the ECHO Native Loader runtime. They have direct access to platform services, registries, and the modular core without NeoForge indirection.
- RecommendedBest performance and compatibility
- Public TestingReady for testing and early addons
Standalone Addon
Runs in the Standalone Runtime
Standalone addons run outside NeoForge entirely. They are perfect for lightweight tools, server utilities, and experimental gameplay systems that do not need Minecraft-mod compatibility.
- ExperimentalAlpha runtime, great for testing
- SandboxIsolated from NeoForge lifecycle
Quickstart
Start building in three steps.
- 1Download and install ECHO Addon Studio.
- 2Create a new project from the Native or Standalone template.
- 3Build, test locally, and publish through the publish-assistant panel.
