Primal Lib
by TheDaeruin
Primal Lib is a Forge library that provides shared item behaviors and utility code for other mods, most notably Basket Case and Darkest Before Dawn.
What it does
The library supplies foundation code that other mods build on, covering basic item functionality and behaviors related to items. Its utility code handles tasks that dependent mods rely on, and its examples show how to register blocks, textures, functions, spawn entities and particles, add drops and react to breaking a block. Primal Lib is meant to be used as a dependency rather than played on its own. Two catalog mods, Basket Case and Darkest Before Dawn, require it. Servers that run it need every player to install it too.
