DragonAPI

DragonAPI is a function library and support mod which is relied upon by all of my mods. If you do not have the API, you will crash on game load with a NoClassDefFoundError mentioning DragonAPIMod.class.

Information for Developers

If you are a developer, here are some of the features to using DragonAPI:

• A detailed registry of all the ores, trees, and similar features added by all the big mods

• A similar registry of vanilla ores, trees, plants, and the like

• Many base classes that can be used as the parent class for TileEntities, Containers, and so on, simplifying their use and making them more powerful

• Interfaces that allow you to make mod item and block registration completely automated

• Functionality to use the pre-1.5 spritesheet textures for items (not blocks)

• Large libraries of scientific and mathematical functions and constants, such as materials engineering, thermodynamics calculations, kinematics, nuclear physics, vector calculations, and more

• Various support functions for interfacing with and converting between different Java data structures

• Lots of File I/O handling, including PNG, XML, and plaintext

• A large collection of functions for handling less coder-friendly elements of Minecraft, like enchanting and spawners

• Many preset references to avoid having to create new Itemstacks to get specific wood/slab/dye/etc types

• Lots of keyboard, sound, texture, and chat handling

• Various handlers for many mods, including BuildCraft, ThaumCraft, and the Twilight Forest

• Various tools for storing data, like a region of a world, or a series of timers, rendering data, multiblock blueprints, and more
