Required: Core
A Core mod for my "Required" series.
About this Mod
Required: Core
Required: Core is the foundation mod for the Required mod series, designed to provide shared systems, materials, and mechanics used across all Required mods (like Flint Required, and future entries).
This mod does nothing by itself in regular gameplay — instead, it acts as a dependency that other Required mods rely on to function properly.
🔧 What Does Required: Core Do?
Required: Core provides:
🧱 Shared materials & items (like Plant Fiber and future common resources)
⚙️ Unified crafting logic used by all Required mods
🧩 Common code & systems to reduce conflicts and improve stability
📦 Future-proof expansion support for upcoming Required mods
This keeps every Required mod:
Lightweight
Consistent
Fully compatible with each other
🧱 Mods That Use Required: Core
✅ Flint Required
⏳ More Required mods coming soon (String Required, Copper Required, etc.)
⚠️ If a Required mod depends on this, the game will not start without it installed.
🎯 Goal of the Required Series
The Required mod series focuses on:
Vanilla-style progression
Slower, more meaningful early-game
Realistic material dependencies
No tech overload or complicated machines
📌 Notes
This mod is a library/dependency
You do not need it unless a Required mod asks for it
Safe to include in modpacks

Server lagging with Required: Core – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Required: Core consumes the most tick time.
