Chameleon
by Texelsaur
Chameleon is a Forge code library for Minecraft 1.8 – 1.12.2 that other mods build on.
What it does
Chameleon supplies shared code that other mods call instead of carrying their own copies. It provides rendering hooks for mod authors, along with a replacement suited to TESR rendering. Client and server both need it, so every player and the server run the library alongside the mods that depend on it.
The library is built by Texelsaur and released under the MIT License as open source. Forge files exist for 8 release versions, 1.8.9 – 1.12.2, with 4.1.3 for 1.12.2 as the latest file, published on 2024-03-06.
