vred's DP Lib

The library provides a set of data components and behaviour components that a data pack can reference when it defines a custom item. Each weapon id is made of two parts: a namespace taken from the component namespace, and a weapon id part taken from the folder inside the current data pack. Both folders must exist for the weapon to resolve, and the item id is not defined by the library alone.

Behaviour is wired with function tags and .mcfunction files. A weapon can run a command when it hits an entity, when its holder receives a hit, when it kills an entity, or when the player taps sneak in a rapid pair while holding the item in either hand. The example data pack shipped with the mod shows a bow that gives an arrow on hit, a stick that grants speed on a double sneak, and boots that give jump boost and particles on a sneak tap.

The mod runs on the server, so the server has to install it, while the client may run it as an optional addition. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the data pack is also available for servers. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.1, and the library is required by Elementelum.
