Nexus Layer

by BrikNex

Nexus Layer is a Forge library that adds status effects and compatibility functions so other mods can work together through shared tags and datapacks.

ForgeClient and serverAll rights reserved1.20.1

What it does

Immunity to each effect is customized with entity tags, so a server can decide which creatures or players are unaffected. Status effect blocks are included as well, and they can be used alone or in combination with other mods.

The library also serves as a compatibility layer. Its ensure functions check that expected mods and items are present before a feature runs, and datapacks can use it to bridge gaps between other mods' own systems. Modded and unmodded items can be grouped under shared tags, which lets recipes and effects detect them without listing every item by hand.

Nexus Layer runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. The mod requires Geckolib, which must be installed alongside it for certain functions to work.

Key features

  1. Status effects

    Singed, Malignant and Scalded are added as status effects that other content can apply in gameplay.

  2. Entity tag immunity

    Entity tags decide which mobs or players are immune to each status effect, configured through datapacks.

  3. Compatibility functions

    Ensure functions confirm that other mods are present and keep their features working together.

  4. Shared item tags

    Modded and unmodded items can be grouped under common tags, so future content can be detected without new code.

What the author says

Nexus Layer is a library mod and compatibility layer made to ensure functions between my mods stay compatible with eachother. Alone, it is not meant to add any function without a seperate mod or command activating its function. When used in tandem with my other mods, Nexus Layer primarily adds status effects such as…
