About this Mod
English
❔ Tell me more about it
Unnamed Common Library (UCL) is my attempt at making a simple, useful, (yet to be) powerful configuration library. Its goal is to be general purpose so that no matter the mod you build or your preferences, you can always use it. This library is obviously not meant to be used on its own,if you do so it will at most serve as an example and a test for its capabilities.
🤩 Why you should like it
- Very easy to implement and use
- Optional configuration screen integrations
- JSON, TOML, and YAML support
🧑💻 For developers
Installation
Add the repository to your build.gradle(.kts):
repositories {
maven {
url = "https://maven.pkg.github.com/aurorarissime/unnamed-common-library"
}
}
And in your buildscript, add the dependency (modImplementation for Fabric, implementation for NeoForge):
dependencies {
(mod)Implementation("from.discorde:ucl:${ucl_version}+${minecraft_version}-fabric")
}
Usage
1. Create your configuration model
MyModConfig.java
import from.discorde.ucl.common.config.annotations.*;
@Configuration(
name = "mymod"
)
public class MyModConfig {
@Comment("Enable the awesome feature")
public boolean awesomeFeature = true;
@Comment("Maximum power level (0-100)")
public int maxPower = 50;
@Comment("Welcome message displayed to players")
public String welcomeMessage = "Hello!";
}
2. Load the configuration in your mod initialiser
MyMod.java
public class MyMod implements ModInitializer {
// The wrapper class is auto-generated at compile time
public static final MyModConfigWrapper CONFIG = MyModConfigWrapper.createAndLoad();
@Override
public void onInitialize() {
if (CONFIG.awesomeFeature) {
System.out.println("Awesome feature is enabled!");
}
}
}
