MilkyWayLib
by GalaxiHD
MilkyWayLib is a NeoForge library from GalaxiHD that other mods in the author's catalog build on, supplying shared utilities and APIs.
What it does
Shared code for GalaxiHD's projects, grouped as common utilities, APIs and systems, with configuration driven by datapacks. Worldgen helpers and event hooks are kept in one place so that other mods can reuse them instead of carrying their own copies. The library is client and server, so the server and every player need it when a mod built on it is installed. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 only, with 1.0.3 as the latest, and the code is under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Worldgen helpers and event hooks are provided for reuse across the author's mods.

What the author says
A shared library mod for GalaxiHD's projects, providing common utilities, APIs, and systems (datapack-driven config, worldgen helpers, event hooks, and more) reused across mods. Will be updated as projects evolve. This mod is really boring on it's own, check out Extractrooms to see it shine!
