Legends Mod: Core
by tihyo
Legends Mod: Core is the shared framework that the Legends Mod ecosystem runs on, supplying the systems that the official Legends content packs require.
What it does
Legends Mod: Core provides the common libraries that official Legends content packs rely on, including animation rendering and gameplay systems. Installing it on its own does not add a universe; it is the base that the packs are built upon, and it is meant to be installed alongside whichever packs are wanted.
The mod is modular, so a player or server owner can add only the universes they want. Core is also set up for future expansion, giving the ecosystem room for custom content as the collection grows. Installation requires AzureLib, which is a required dependency and must be present with Core on Forge for 1.20.1.
Core is published for Forge across three release versions, 1.7.10 – 1.20.1, with 1.20.1-ss1.0.22 as the latest file for 1.20.1. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.
