Continuum Core
by justduck
Continuum Core is a NeoForge library that ports the shared Mantle code for Minecraft 26.1.2, used by Tinkers' Continuum.
What it does
Continuum Core is a community-maintained NeoForge port of the Mantle shared library, written by justduck and built for Minecraft 26.1.2. It keeps the mantle mod id so that dependent mods continue to load against it. The port focuses on the library surface that a current Tinkers port needs, and historical integrations and APIs are only considered supported where the port has been tested.
The library includes registration helpers that wrap objects, data generation helpers for resources, recipes, tags and loot, and utility classes for fluid transfer, inventory handling and recipes. Client model helpers are updated to current NeoForge and Minecraft APIs. JEI integration is supported at compile and runtime, since the port still relies on a few Mantle-side integration points. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the original Mantle project credited to SlimeKnights, whose upstream releases remain the reference for the original code.

Fluid and inventory utilities
Utility classes for fluid transfer, inventory handling and recipes are carried over from Mantle for the port.

Use cases
Running Tinkers' Continuum
Tinkers' Continuum requires Continuum Core, which supplies the Mantle library it loads against.
Developing against the port
Developers working on the NeoForge port can build the mod from the repository root and start a development client.
Who it’s for: Players who run Tinkers' Continuum on NeoForge 26.1.2 need this library, and developers of dependent mods can use it as a base for the port. Server owners who run Tinkers' Continuum also install it on the server, since the environment is client and server.
