Iconic
by Sindercube
Iconic is a Fabric library for building customizable content mods, with hooks that let other mods attach effects and tooltips to items.
What it does
Developers use Iconic to define custom objects that hold effects in the same way enchantments do, through an EffectHolder interface. A new item component lets items carry those effects, and tooltip text is added to items automatically through a TooltipAppender component. Both are registered through data-driven JSON tags. The library is client-side only, so servers can run without it, and it is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source. Files exist for 1.19 – 1.21.1, with 0.10.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest build.
