haybale-ported
Haybale-ported is a Library mod that provides registration, networking and platform service helpers for other mods written against the Haybale code base.
What it does
The library is a port of the Haybale library originally written by CommodoreThrawn, carried over to Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for the 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 range. It was ported as part of work on StrawGolems and is intended for developers who build mods with the same structure.
Registration is handled through an annotation system that covers entities, items, particles and sounds, so a mod can declare these objects in code instead of registering each one by hand. A packet system and an entity capability system are included for server and client communication and per-entity data. Platform-sided services such as a server scheduler are provided so that code can run on the correct side without loader-specific calls.
Because it is a library, the mod has no in-game content of its own. It must be installed with Fabric API on Fabric, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it for dependent mods to work. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.
