Dio's Lib
by AlasDiablo
With Dio's Lib installed, the mods built by AlasDiablo share one library of data generators, block helpers and UI model helpers, and the library itself is a dependency for eight other catalog mods.
What it does
Dio's Lib is a library rather than a content mod: it adds no items of its own and supplies code that other mods call. Its general-purpose data generators cover recipes, models and other resource files, while its block helpers give access to specific block functions. A set of UI model helpers and utilities such as DateRange helpers round out the toolkit, so the author's mods can share one codebase instead of duplicating it.
Eight catalog mods require Dio's Lib, including Dio's Extended Resources, Dio's Nether Ore, Just Another Nether/Overworld/End Ores - Dio's Janoeo, Dio's Recycling Factory and Dio's Wool Armor. The author notes that Janoeo Team is also a required companion. The library runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Files exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across nine release versions, 1.19.3 – 26.2, with the newest Fabric build targeting 1.21.8 and the newest NeoForge build targeting 26.2.
Key features
Data generators
General-purpose generators produce resource files for mods that use the library, saving hand-written JSON.
Block helpers
Helper classes expose specific block functions, so block logic is written once and reused across projects.
UI model helpers
Helpers for building user interface models let the author's mods share screen code.
Shared utilities
Small utilities such as DateRange helpers are included, covering common needs in several mods at once.

How it compares
Iceberg is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge library that runs on client and server, with files for 1.16.5 – 26.3, but it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial No Derivatives 4.0 license and is not open source. FancyModLib is NeoForge only and built for 1.21.11, with All rights reserved terms, so it is not open source either. Dio's Lib is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and covers the same client and server environment.
