Sown's Modding Framework
by sownathlete
Sown's Modding Framework is a Forge library for 1.7.10 that supplies shared infrastructure for other mods by the same author, Sown.
What it does
The framework serves as a common base for mods that Sown produces. Its code handles shared groundwork so that affiliated mods can interact with one another without each carrying its own copy of the same plumbing. Other Sown mods list it as a requirement, and it must be present for them to run.
Installation targets Forge only, and the only published build is version 1.0 for 1.7.10, dated 2026-01-15. Both the server and every player need the framework, because the environment is client and server. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, so redistribution and derived work are not granted by the license.
The framework is a library rather than a gameplay mod. Players do not gain new blocks or items from it directly; its effects appear through the mods built on top of it.
