Cyclops Core
by rubensworks
Cyclops Core is a library mod that other mods such as EvilCraft and Integrated Dynamics require, and it is installed on the client and the server alike.
What it does
The mod supplies shared code that other mods build on, so it adds no visible content of its own. Its main function is to let mod authors declare custom recipes in XML files, with details documented on the project wiki. Cyclops Core is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, covering 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Eighteen mods in the catalog require it, so it has to be present for those to start. Forge Config API Port is an optional dependency, and the mod collects anonymized startup data, which can be turned off in its config file and follows the snooper setting in Minecraft.
Key features
XML recipe declarations
Mod authors can define custom recipes in XML files instead of writing the recipe logic in code.
Shared library code
Other mods draw on this common code, so each dependent mod does not need its own copy.
Anonymized startup data
The mod sends anonymized startup data, which the config file can disable.
