About this project

What does Version Independence add?

This is a tutorial mod for using the FeatureCreep API for making mods.In the source code, we have the source code for making mods with the FeatureCreep 4+ API and the build system, fpmbuild.

Mods using FeatureCreep can run on any version of Minecraft which FeatureCreep runs on, FeatureCreep also runs ontop of other modloaders like MinecraftForge and FabricMC, and QuiltMC, and RiftMC and soon others. This will allow you to make 1 mod which will work on all of these platforms without making lots of ports for older versions and other modloaders. No prior programming knowledge needed!

With FeatureCreep Mods you are only able to use FeatureCreep's API if you want version independence.

Note: Mods for FeatureCreep often end in .fpm however they could also end in .jar however this causes issues with some modloaders saying it is an invalid modfile, if you get this manually rename the file from .jar to .fpm ,fpm files like Jar files are the same format as zip files and in reality you can change the extension to whatever you wish.

Note: Currently textures do not work on 1.12 and 1.13 and older but work on 1.14 and newer but you must manually add fcpack_<num> with each number being determined by the pack.meta format for the MC version.

We have a tutorial on how to get started here:

Please note, FeatureCreep 4 is still in the very early stages of development and a lot is missing, so please be patient. The tutorial still is under construction also.
