About this project

What does Ability: Core add?

Ability Core

Ability Core is the shared foundation of the Tensura RPG pack's ability mods. It defines how an ability is described, discovered, activated and paid for, independent of where the ability comes from.

What it does

(Design phase, no release yet. The open issues on this repository hold the full plan, research tables and open design decisions.)

  • Ability contracts - registration, metadata, categories and identifiers for abilities supplied by other mods.
  • Activation is a single request/result path for using an ability, with targeting context, cooldown and resource-cost hooks.
  • Eligibility and restrictions - server-authoritative checks that an ability may be used at all, before anything is consumed.
  • Synchronisation sends clients what they need to draw and use abilities, and nothing they are allowed to decide for themselves.

Dependencies

Mod Why
Required Minecraft / NeoForge 1.21.1 / 21.1.259

Ability Core is a library. The pack's ability mods (the hotbar, the integrations, the battlewills) depend on it, not the other way round.
