Cores
by anmao
Cores is a library mod by anmao that packages numerous frequently used repetitive code blocks for Minecraft mod development.
What it does
Cores serves as a core library for other mods. It bundles frequently repeated code routines and offers several practical features that developers can call instead of writing their own. Three other catalog mods, Star Remains Secret Legacy, Telos and AreaX, require it, so it must be installed alongside them.
The mod works on Forge and NeoForge across 19 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Its license is Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0, and the project is not open source, though its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Attribute defaults
Default maximum and minimum values for attributes can be changed, and the adjustments are read from a configuration file.
Color scheme customization
Screen rendering code lets other mods replace the palette and switch color schemes.
Network listening
The mod listens on port 4444 and returns registered content to players who access it.
Shared code base
Repetitive routines are packaged once here, so dependent mods can reuse them.

Latest build for each game version and loader.
