CoFH Core
by KingLemming
Players and server owners install CoFH Core as the shared library that other Team CoFH mods load on Forge and NeoForge, and it sets up the common code those mods depend on.
What it does
CoFH Core holds the functionality that Team CoFH mods build on, and it places a handful of entries into the game registry for other mods to draw on. Because it is a library, it adds little visible content by itself. Fifteen catalog mods require it, including Thermal Foundation, Redstone Arsenal, Ensorcellation, Oh My Gourd! and Archer's Paradox.
The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Its releases cover 1.16.5, 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1 across Forge and NeoForge. The latest Forge and NeoForge builds are both 11.0.2 for 1.20.1, published on 2024-05-26, and the first release dates from 2022-05-16. The code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Configuration is split into a client file and a server file. The client file sits in the config folder, while the server file lives in the serverconfigs folder of each world. Copying the server file into defaultconfigs applies the same settings to newly created worlds. Dedicated servers keep the file under the world's serverconfigs folder.
