Lieutenant
by matthe815
Lieutenant is a Forge library for 1.12.2 that other mods build on, and it is required by Extra TAN.
What it does
Lieutenant serves as a general code library for Forge 1.12.2. It holds shared code that other mods can depend on, so that duplicate code does not have to ship inside each mod and package sizes stay smaller. Its author describes it as a cross-version core mod, and it is intended to make distribution and bug fixes easier to roll out. Extra TAN requires it. Client and server both need it, so every player and the server must run the library. Files are published under the MIT License, which is not open source, for 1.12.2 only, with the latest Forge build 2.0.24 dated 2023-10-16.

What the author says
Lieutenant is my general code library, containing redundant code as to reduce the package size of my future mods, and to make distribution of future updates and bug fixes easier. There is no documentation of this library as of now. However, if you would like to use it, I will not stop you.
