bdlib

by bdew

bdlib is a Forge library that bundles shared code used by several other bdew mods, and it needs Scalable Cat's Force to run.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

bdlib holds generic code that bdew's mods draw on, so common functionality is written once rather than repeated in each mod. Players do not interact with it directly; it appears in a world only when a mod that depends on it is installed. Scalable Cat's Force must also be present for the library to load.

The library runs on client and server, so both sides need it when a dependent mod is used. Published files target Forge for 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3 and 1.20.1, with 1.27.0.8 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, marked alpha. The project is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Shared generic code

    Collects generic code that other bdew mods use, so those mods do not each carry their own copy.

  2. Required dependency

    Scalable Cat's Force must be installed alongside the library for it to run.

  3. Public source and issues

    The source code and issue tracker are published, so problems can be reported and the code read.

Use cases

Running dependent mods

Who it’s for: Players who use bdew's mods such as Advanced Generators or Factorium on Forge, and server owners who host those mods. The library is not meant for use on its own.
