❓ Why?

  1. Compatibility

    Minecraft changes API very often. This library doesn't.
  2. Takeover Prevention

    Microsoft may steal your mods for themselves when you mod Minecraft.

    When you mod Avoid, you don't mod Minecraft - but any platform Avoid supports.

👀 But there's hundreds of libraries

I know. This one is created because I don't wanna use others. And because I need full coverage of Minecraft's code.

🧽 What about SpongePowered

SpongePowered doesn't seem to support Minecraft Fabric.

Also, I don't think Sponge has client API-s.

🦘 So far, AvoidLib kept compatibility through all these changes¹:

  • [26.1] Rendering Name Refactor
  • [26.1] Item Stack Refactor
  • [26.1] Stupid World Changes
  • [26.1] Stupid Player Changes
  • [26.1] Stupid Chat Changes
  • [26.2] Entity Refactor
  • [26.2] GUI Refactor
  • [26.2] Block Item IDs
  • [26.3] Block Type Removal
  • [26.3] Increased ItemStackNative usage
  • [26.3] Entity Delta Tracking
  • [26.3] Vertex Modifications
  • [26.3] Move to SDL
  • [26.3] Move to RenderPearl
  • [26.3] PushReaction Refactor
  • [26.3] ItemStackTemplate#entrySet() removal
¹ These names may not be accurate,
   and some refactorings may be missing.

💴 Yet, no version support was dropped.
