Moonlight Lib
dynamic data pack and registration, villager activities, custom map marker and a lot more
About this Mod
Features of this library are:
Dynamic resource pack utilities
A set of utilities that allow creating dynamic runtime resource packs and datapacks. Also easily allows respriting and retexturing existing textures, specifically useful to add new wood based blocks.Dynamic block set registration
Allows mods to specify a block set (which can be for example a wood type). The mod then will scan all registered blocks and fill the block set up only to then allow mods to register blocks that depend on it.
This can't be easily done using traditional methods since the wood set itself depends on the registered blocks so registration must happen at a very specific time. This utility makes that task possible and easy to do. Note that it is still a form of dynamic registration which might have some drawbacks.
In a nutshell you have dynamic wood type support for your blocks. The wood set type already comes built-in.
Custom map markers:
A complete system that allows to easily implement and add map decoration and map markers as well as control every aspect of them like rendering. Also allows storing simple data inside maps data offering a couple of hooks to use it too like on item tooltip.
This system also offers a simple Data Driven implementation meaning you can easily register new markers with datapacks!Dynamic Villager AI
A helper system to easily and dynamically add tasks and modify villager schedules in a compatible way without overriding the whole existing AI. Also allows to properly add memory typesCustom first and third person animations:
Allows modders to implement a simple interface in their items to allow it to have custom third and first person animations (like crossbows).
Includes simple and easy to use interfaces that can let you control first person and third person animations as well as a callback for rendering the item itself (similar to spyglass) directly in your item classGrindstone achievement triggers:
The mod adds a custom trigger that gets called when an item is passed through a grindstone that you can call in your mods advancements jsonsSoft fluid system:
An entirely Data Driven custom virtual fluid system that goes on top of forge one and is designed to fit better in vanilla minecraft and having as main feature the ability to have multiple fluid containers items like bottles, bowls and buckets, as well as providing support for stews and drinks that can be consumed directly from a fluid tank. As opposed to the forge fluid system it has a base unit of 1 minecraft bottle (250 forge mb). The system also automatically generates all the needed fluids for already registered forge fluids and allows the user to override them or add to them easily. Fluids are virtual so they can only exist in modded container specifically for them
-Dispenser utilities:
Some code that allows to easily register dispenser behaviors without overriding already existing ones. Also comes with builtin spawn egg and block placement behaviors
