Mantle

by KnightMiner

Mantle is a base library that other mods built by the same team require to run, adding shared code and a hearts display change.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.7.10 – 1.20.1

What it does

The mod provides shared code for SlimeKnights mods, Tinkers' Construct among them, and works as a dependency rather than a standalone feature set. Its hearts display can show colored overlaid hearts instead of stacked rows, and those colors only appear when a way to raise max health is active. Just Enough Items is an optional companion. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge across 1.7.10 – 1.20.1, and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source. Both client and server need it.

Key features

  1. Shared library code

    Supplies the common code that SlimeKnights mods depend on, so they do not each bundle it.

  2. Overlaid colored hearts

    Replaces stacked heart rows with overlaid hearts, colored only when max health is increased.

  3. Client config option

    The hearts change can be turned off in the client config file.

What the author says

Why? For science and slime, why else? Source code can be found on github. Also adds a reworked hearts display with overlaid colored hearts, instead of rows over rows of stacked hearts. The different colors only appear if you have a way to increase your max health, regular hearts are unchanged. This can be disabled in…
