Terminal
by Zekromaster
Terminal is a library for b1.7.3 that gives StationAPI-based mods a set of shared utilities, from Capability API and Attachments API to Item Storage API.
What it does
Terminal is a b1.7.3 library built on StationAPI, which it requires to run. It bundles utilities that mod developers can call from their own code, so a mod does not need to implement each system separately. The three named systems are the Capability API, the Attachments API and an Item Storage API modeled on IItemHandler, which handles item inventories.
Because it is a library, Terminal has no blocks, items or gameplay of its own. Its effect shows only in other mods that depend on it. It is published for Fabric and Babric, and snapshot builds are published alongside the release files. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so it can be installed on a single player's game, on a server, or on both. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Capability API
Attaches capabilities to objects, giving other mods a common way to add behavior without changing the base classes.
Attachments API
Stores extra data on game objects so that mods can keep their own values attached to the world and entities.
Item Storage API
Provides an item handler interface modeled on IItemHandler, so that inventories from different mods can be read and written in the same way.
StationAPI utilities
Adds helper code for b1.7.3 mod development on top of StationAPI, for developers who build content with it.
Requirements
Dependencies declared by the latest file for each loader.

Use cases
Mod developers
Developers who build b1.7.3 content on StationAPI can call the shared APIs instead of writing their own storage and data systems.
Dependent mods
Mods such as Iron Chest (StAPI) rely on Terminal for the shared systems they call.
Who it’s for: Terminal is intended for mod developers working on b1.7.3 with StationAPI, and for players who install mods that require it.
