danlib
by danjhop
danlib is a Fabric library that other mods build on, with extra support for block GUIs and vanilla features that later mods extend.
What it does
The library provides shared code that other Fabric mods call into rather than running a feature of its own. Its main use is keeping block GUIs open, and its extensions cover parts of the game that later mods depend on. Wood Plus requires it, so installing that mod means installing this one too.
Because the library runs on both sides, the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for six release versions 1.21.9 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are included. The author holds all rights, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Block GUI support
Helps block-based screens stay open while a player interacts with the block, as dependent mods expect.
Vanilla extensions
Adds hooks to parts of vanilla that later mods extend, so those mods do not need their own versions of the same code.
Shared code for dependents
Other mods call into the library for block screen handling and vanilla hooks instead of bundling their own copies.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
This mod also publishes snapshot builds. Snapshots are not shown in the matrix.
