The status indicators are as follows:

BROKEN → The API has been implemented in this version, but it is not yet able to load.

FUNCTIONAL → There are no known major issues specific to this version.

LOADABLE → The game can load in this version, but entering a world is not yet possible.

PLANNED → The API has not yet been implemented for this version, but it will be soon.

Getting Started

Features

I will be writing a more in-depth wiki at some point, but in the meantime here are a few helpful things you can do:

  • Easier file creation and manipulation
  • Generic image rendering to the screen
  • Global nbt data storage and retrieval
  • Support for radial gui elements and some helper methods regarding that
  • Custom async tick events able set by millisecond

Issues & the Discord Server for my mods

You are free to use this mod in a modpack, server, video, or anything that links back to this page or the Modrinth page with proper credit. Posting it to rehosting sites like 9minecraft is not cool.
