Shimmer Support Layer
by Miki-Liki
Shimmer Support Layer lets Fabric players add Shimmer compatibility to other mods, by generating support for them after a world is entered.
What it does
After a player enters a world, the command generateShimmerSupport creates Shimmer support for mods that are installed alongside Shimmer. Most blocks and some items are covered automatically, while the rest of the support is semi-automatic and needs manual changes. Once the command has run, a game restart applies the support that was added.
The layer is a client-side tool, so only the player's client needs it. It requires Cloth Config API, Mod Menu and Shimmer on Fabric, and it targets game versions 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. The code is published under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker for those who want to improve the generated support.

Use cases
Adding Shimmer to a modpack
A modpack author can use the layer to bring several mods under Shimmer compatibility without writing each integration by hand.
Who it’s for: Modpack authors and players who run Fabric 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 and want Shimmer to recognize more of the mods they already use. Players who want a fully hand-written integration for every mod may need to adjust the generated results.
