About this project
What does Iron Core add?
-THIS MOD IS IN EARLY DEVELOPMENT, EXPECT BUGS.
-Iron Core is a library mod that acts as a central bridge and config manager for the Iron series mods (Iron Carrots, Iron Apples, and Iron Barrels).
-It automatically detects which of these mods you have installed and generates separate, customizable configuration files for them inside a unified "IronCore" folder.
-This mod does not add any items or blocks on its own, and it is required as a dependency to make the other mods work and allow you to tweak things like item toggles, hunger values, saturation modifiers, and block settings.
-Make sure to drop this mod jar into your mods folder if you are using any of the Iron series mods, otherwise the game will tell you that it is missing.
