Class Gem: Core
by HER0XP
Class Gem: Core is a shared library for a collection of RPG mods built around class gems, and it does not add gameplay on its own.
What it does
The mod provides interfaces, events, utilities and logic common to class gem mods, covering passive activations, cooldowns and ally detection. Players who install only Class Gem: Core will not see new items or mechanics, because the content comes from the mods that build on it. Curios API is required as a dependency.
Two catalog mods require Class Gem: Core: Class Gem: Berserker and Class Gem: Paladin. Paladin Gem is named as a complementary mod that must be present for its effect to work in game. The library runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with 1.0.5 as the latest file from 2025-10-05, and the first file was published on 2025-10-04. The code is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Shared passive activations
Passive abilities from class gem mods use common activation logic, so each dependent mod does not implement it separately.
Cooldown handling
Timers for ability cooldowns are provided by the core, giving dependent mods one consistent system.
Ally detection
Helpers identify allied entities for effects that target friends rather than enemies.
Shared events and interfaces
Events and interfaces are exposed for other class gem mods to hook into.

How it compares
Battlebound: Core and Required: Core are also Forge libraries for 1.20.1 that run on client and server and are published under All rights reserved, so they cover the same version and environment. F-Tech: Core supports both Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and CreateFirmaCraft - Core is a Forge library for 1.20.1 under the MIT License, which is a permissive license. Class Gem: Core is licensed as All rights reserved, while OK Core is open source but targets 1.7.10 instead.
