  • fabric-example-mod

    Example Fabric mod

  • For accessing a decompiled minecraft source, I think the easiest way is to grab something people use to write mods (like the fabric example mod or the quilt template mod or the forge getting started guide), open it in an IDE like eclipse or intellij, then just don't write a mod and click around in the source instead.
