Battlebound: Core
by Redynine
Battlebound: Core is a Forge library for 1.20.1 that supplies shared utilities to the Battlebound Map Series, with its sound, resource and helper systems.
What it does
Battlebound: Core is a helper library built for the Battlebound Map Series, supplying the shared functions those maps depend on. It bundles the sounds system, resource handling, helper functions and technical components that the series relies on to run correctly. Its job is to keep game modes and map mechanics stable and consistent across the series' modules, so other Battlebound parts can build on it.
The library is intended for standalone use only in the sense that it exists to be paired with Battlebound Map Series maps and modes. It does not add gameplay of its own. The mod runs on Forge and is published for 1.20.1 alone, with 1.5 as the latest file, first released on 2026-02-27 and last updated on 2026-10-06. It is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. Both the server and every player need it, because the series' maps and modes depend on it on each side.

Helper functions
Offers shared helper functions and technical components that the series uses across its modules.
Stability foundation

Who it’s for: Server owners and players who run the Battlebound Map Series on Forge 1.20.1 need this library installed next to the series. It is not meant to be used by itself.
How it compares

L2 Library is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and spans Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.2 – 26.1.2, a much wider version range than Battlebound: Core.
