 ====== Entrypoints ======
-Entrypoints are declared in a mod's [[documentation:fabric_mod_json|fabric.mod.json]] to expose parts of the code for usage by Fabric Loader or other mods. They are primarily used to make some code run during game initialization to initialize mods, though the entrypoint system has other uses as well. Entrypoints are loaded by language adapters, which will attempt to produce a Java object of a specified type using the name of the code object.

Entrypoints are loaded by language adapters, which will attempt to produce a Java object of a specified type using the name of the code object.
 An entrypoint is exposed under some name, refers to some code object and must be based on a familiar **entrypoint prototype**. An entrypoint prototype defines the name (such as "main" or "client") and the expected type of object that the entrypoint should refer to (such as the ''ModInitializer'' interface). An **entrypoint prototype provider** declares an entrypoint prototype and is responsible for accessing entrypoints, and can state how the they will be used. Fabric Loader provides some built-in entrypoint prototypes, while mods can also provide their own.
