PicesCup Develop Lib
by PiscesCup
PicesCup Develop Lib is a Fabric library for mod developers, with helpers for registering items, blocks, item groups and tags, plus data generation for recipes, models and translations.
What it does
Developers add the library as a dependency to skip repetitive setup code. Its register classes, PCItemRegister, PCBlockRegister, PCItemGroupRegister and PCItemTagKeyRegister, handle items, blocks, item groups and item and block tags. Register first, then call registerAndBuild; calling it without first adding entries throws an IllegalArgumentException. The library also provides utilities such as Language.java and factories that return data providers for FabricDataGenerator.
Recipes can be declared with PCShapedRecipe and PCShapelessRecipe, while item models are set through the model method of PCItemRegister and blocks can use the simpleCubeAll method in PCBlockRegister. Translation and language providers are reached through PCTranslationProviderFactory and PCLanguageProviderFactory. The project includes an examples folder and a GUI development section.
The library is for Fabric only and targets Minecraft 1.21.4. The server needs it, while players may leave it out, since the client side is optional. It is released under CC0 1.0 Universal and is open source, with a source repository, an issue tracker and a wiki.
