About this Mod

Bot's Lib

A library mod to keep me from re-writing things over and over again, mostly existing because I don't know what I'm doing.

Contains a couple of simple functions that other mods use.
Right now primarily a special raycast function, some RNG stuff, and some things to make interacting with farmland faster.
Also contains the block tags related to the Dew Drop project, which is probably a bad way of going about things, but it's simpler for me this way.

Check out one of the mods that depend on this library, like Dew Drop Watering Cans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bot's Lib server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Bot's Lib compatible with forge?

Bot's Lib officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Bot's Lib – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Bot's Lib consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
