TW's Core
TW's Core is a shared library that lets the Tenacious Wonder mods exchange data and work together more smoothly.
What it does
TW's Core works as a common communication bridge between the mods of the Tenacious Wonder series. It provides one shared API, so those mods can rely on the same base instead of each carrying its own. The author describes it as a toolbox for the series rather than a gameplay addition, and players see no new blocks or items from it alone.
Fabric API must be installed for the Fabric build, since it is a required dependency. TW's Core runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it when a Tenacious Wonder mod depends on it. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker.
The author keeps TW's Decorative Foods independent of this library, so that mod runs without it. TW's Baking Process, by contrast, requires TW's Core to be installed first.
Key features
Shared API layer
A single API that Tenacious Wonder mods call into, so shared logic is written once and reused.
Cross-mod communication
Lets the series' mods pass information between each other without each one implementing its own bridge.
Dependency for series mods
Mods such as TW's Baking Process list it as a requirement, so it has to be added before those mods run.
Open source codebase
The source code and issue tracker are public, so changes to the shared layer can be followed and reported.

Use cases
Running a Tenacious Wonder pack
Installing TW's Core alongside the series mods a pack uses lets them share the same base library.
Who it’s for: Players who run Tenacious Wonder mods such as TW's Baking Process, and server owners who host them. Players who only want TW's Decorative Foods do not need it.
How it compares
SinoCore is a Fabric, Forge and NeoForge library for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, released under a custom license and not open source, so its terms differ from the MIT License of TW's Core. Iron Core is also a client and server library and covers 1.12.2 – 26.2 with an All rights reserved license, which is not open source. F-Tech: Core is limited to Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 and is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

TW's Core is a shared API library we're building specifically for the Tenacious Wonder series. Think of it as a common toolbox and communication bridge that lets all TW mods work together more smoothly. With the exception of the always-standalone "TW's Decorative Foods," every other TW mod will need this little…
