MonkeyLib538
MonkeyLib538 is a library that OffsetMonkey538's other mods use to share common code across loaders and Minecraft versions.
What it does
Its main job is to hide platform differences. Code written against MonkeyLib538 can run on Fabric and NeoForge, and it also has files for the Paper and Purpur server platforms, so the same logic is not rewritten for each loader. Ten other catalog mods require it, including Loot Table Modifier, Better Frost Walker and Withered Bone Meal. It needs Fabric API on Fabric, and Placeholder API NeoForge and Text Placeholder API on NeoForge.
Key features
Shared helper methods
Helpers wrap platform calls so a dependent mod can reuse the same logic in its own code.
Placeholder hooks
Placeholder API calls are wrapped so dependent mods can call them the same way on each platform.
Single codebase support
Dependent mods can keep one codebase while the library handles the differences between platforms.

What the author says
A library mod used by OffsetMonkey538's mods. Required for them to run. Includes very fun abstractions for allowing easier support of multiple mod loaders and Minecraft versions. Also abstracts away the platform specifics of Placeholder API, Placeholder API NeoForge, and Placeholder API Paper.
