About this Mod
Primal Lib is not meant to be used on its own. Primal Lib is a library mod that all my other Minecraft mods will require in order to run. It has some basic items and functionality that provide a foundation for other mods to build on.
Currently, Primal Lib is used by Basket Case and Darkest Before Dawn.
Primal Lib includes:
- Basic items that are used in multiple mods. For example, twine is a basic material that's used in crafting recipes in both Basket Case and Darkest Before Dawn. Other items include plant fibers, bark, bark strips, branches, twigs, and wooden shafts.
- Basic behaviors related to its items. For example, you can configure vines and sugar cane to count as cordage.
- Common utility code that all my mods rely on. For example, code that registers blocks and textures, functions that spawn entities and particles, and code that adds drops when breaking a block.
