Developer Description

This jar includes the source code and classes needed to interact with Distant Horizons in a Minecraft and mod loader independent way.
This jar should be used during development instead of the full Distant Horizons jar to prevent accidentally using unsafe internal methods.


The example projects on GitLab contains all the basics you need to get started using the API.
