About this project
What does Compressed Pollution add?
Most pollution APIs provide very little customization when it comes to how pollution works, only creating a single number behind the scenes to dictate how "polluted" a world is and providing limited control over what causes it.
This API tries to set itself apart by giving near full control over how many different types of pollution there are and how it's caused. It handles many base forms of item destruction and allows them to cause pollution based on what was destroyed.
This API allows for the use of datapack entries to specify what causes different types of pollution. Documentation on how to use them, as well as how to expand what the API is capable of, is found in the docs folder in the GitHub repository.
Mod Developers, please do not directly provide compatibility for the sake of my sanity. If you want to add compat, make a PR so it's all in one place, please
