AltLore
by SilverAndro
AltLore lets a modpack author add lore items to a Fabric world, set up through a data pack file.
What it does
Modpack authors and developers can use AltLore to create special lore items that a player can read while holding a key. The content is controlled by a data pack: a file placed under the altlore directory with its file ending, and a contents file line that lists what it provides. The mod runs only on the client, so players install it and servers need nothing. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 1.18.2 for Fabric, with 1.0.2 for 1.18.2 as the latest file, released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, which keeps it open source.
