Monomorphism
by GateGuardian
Monomorphism is a Forge library for developers who build addons for GregTech CEu Modern, providing base classes, multiblock preview helpers and GUI widgets.
What it does
Addon authors get a set of shared building blocks: a base class family for blocks, block entities and items, convenience methods that generate multiblock structure previews, rendering utilities built on LDLib, and a collection of GUI widgets. Together they cut down the boilerplate needed to register GregTech-style content in an addon.
The library is distributed for Forge 1.20.1 only, with one release, 1.0.10, dated 2024-05-30. It is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project. Some code is taken from InfinityLib, which is released under the MIT License.
Monomorphism requires GregTech CEu Modern to be installed alongside it. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
Key features
Addon base classes
Base classes for blocks, block entities and items reduce the code an addon needs to define its own GregTech content.
Multiblock structure previews
Helper methods generate a preview of a multiblock structure, so authors can show a finished build before it is placed.
Rendering utilities
Rendering helpers built on LDLib provide shared drawing code for custom machine and block visuals.
GUI widget library
A large set of GUI widgets is available for building custom machine and tool screens.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Mod developers making addons for GregTech CEu Modern on Forge 1.20.1. Players who only play with GregTech do not need to install it directly, because it is a library that addons depend on.
How it compares
InfinityLib is a Forge library for 1.18.2, released under the MIT License and open source, and it is installed on client and server. Monomorphism targets 1.20.1 and is also open source, but under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later. RestApi is a library for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt covering 1.19 – 1.20.4, and it works on either side, and neither side needs it. Tiny Multiblock Lib covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.19.4 – 26.3 under the MIT License.
