About this project

What does CatFrame add?

CatFrame

A modern foundation library for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10.

CatFrame is a modern foundation library for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10, backporting many of the engine, rendering, resource, and UI systems introduced in newer versions of Minecraft.
Its goal is not simply to recreate individual features, but to provide the underlying architecture needed for modern, data-driven mod development on the legacy 1.7.10 platform.
