About this project

What does CatLib add?

CatLib

CatLib is a multi-platform collection of utilities designed to facilitate ports of Cave Generator and Ore Stone Variants to Minecraft 1.16+.

What can it do?

  • An extremely convenient, annotation-based command registration API compatible with Fabric and Forge.
  • An extensible linter that can provide expression-based syntax highlighting in the chat.
  • A series of out of the box commands that can be automatically registered and adapted for any mod.
  • Biome modification events (exposes dynamic registries and raw biomes on Forge platform).
  • Registry added event listeners (normally unavailable on the Forge platform).
  • Dynamic registry event listeners.
  • Dynamic registry accessors, which always provide access to current registry info (regular vanilla, forge, or dynamic)
  • Everything you need to get started with Hjson.
  • A high level API used for large-scale JSON transformations.
  • A series of helpful data types including a functional result type for handling errors.
  • A custom build of Auburn's FastNoise library containing features from FastNoiseLite and FastNoise-Legacy.
  • A small, platform-independent collection of methods that can be used for basic registry lookups.
  • A couple of helpful IO utilities.

Who is this for?

This mod is intended to facilitate ports of Cave Generator and Ore Stone Variants to 1.16+.

I am hoping that other mod developers will take up interest in this library and consider using it. I am extremely open to provide additional features for this library if that would be helpful to other developers. If so, please send me a message on GitHub or Discord.
