About this project
What does NovaCore add?
NovaCore is a library mod for creating NeoForge mods. It contains common classes for creating blocks, items, etc., and data generation classes.
Why use a library mod?
Using a library mod removes a lot of boilerplate code required to get things up and running. This allows you to focus on what matters most and not spend a lot of time writing code that is required by the framework you choose.
Planned Features
- Better support for NeoForge
- Eventually become framework agnostic and supports both NeoForge and Fabric.
- Create NovaCore-API (Contains framework agnostic code for your mod)
- Create NovaCore-NeoForge (Contains everything needed to bootstrap NeoForge mods)
- Create NovaCore-Fabric (Contains everything needed to bootstrap NeoForge mods)
