ClockworkLib

by TheASEStefan

ClockworkLib is a Forge library of helper code for developers, covering screenshake, voxel shapes, particles, easings, quaternions and block sounds.

ForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2 – 1.20.1

What it does

The library gathers small utilities that other mods can call instead of writing their own: a simple screenshake implementation, a voxel shape helper, particle formulas with variations for gravity and direction, quaternion math and easing functions. It also adds an easier way to attach sounds to blocks, and a simple example config that shows developers how to set one up.

Every player and the server need a copy of the mod. Builds exist for Forge only, for four game versions, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.1 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source repository and issue tracker are public.

It is mainly used by the authors' own newer projects, and other developers may use it freely. Three catalog mods require it, Zombies Reworked, Dawn of the Flood - "Madrigal" and Skeletons Reworked, so installing one of them brings the library in as a dependency.

Key features

  1. Screenshake helper

    Provides a simple screenshake implementation that a mod can trigger for camera effects.

  2. Voxel shape helper

    Helps build and combine voxel shapes for block collision and outline geometry.

  3. Particle formulas

    Particle formulas with variations for gravity, direction and similar motion parameters.

  4. Easings and quaternions

    Easing curves and quaternion math for smooth interpolation and rotation in mod code.

  5. Block sound setup

    An easier way to add sounds to blocks, with an example included for developers to follow.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Mod developers who want shared helper code for effects, shapes, particles and sounds, rather than writing those utilities in each project.

Yes. Zombies Reworked is one of the three catalog mods that require ClockworkLib, so the library must be installed alongside it.

Which game versions does ClockworkLib support?

Forge files exist for 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.20.1.

Can other developers use ClockworkLib in their own mods?

Yes. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the authors say other developers may use it freely.
