Ingenium API
by Caesius_Leo
Ingenium API is a library that gives other mods a shared set of methods for mounting equipment on ships and cannons.
What it does
Ingenium API provides the methods that define which equipment a ship can mount and which entities can carry that mounted equipment, along with the item interactions used to attach or use it. It adds no gameplay content of its own. Shippy Ships and Old Cannons require it, and the library exists so those mods can share one set of rules for ship-mounted cannons.
The library is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 26.3. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Because it runs on client and server, the server and every player need it installed.
