About this project

What does Shovel API add?

Shovel API

Shovel API is the runtime of Shovel JS. It applies in game everything you build with the Shovel JS editor, so it has to stay in your modpack.

You don't need to install it by hand: the CurseForge launcher adds it when you install Shovel JS.

What it does

  • Applies the item, block and mob rules made in the editor.
  • Applies structure spawn caps and villager trades.
  • Adds ShovelAPI for your own scripts.
  • Keeps your edits working after you remove the editor from the finished pack.

For modpack makers

Ship Shovel API with your pack. Players don't need Shovel JS: the editor is only for whoever builds the pack.

Versions: Forge 1.20.1 and NeoForge 1.21.1, with the same features.
