Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.18. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.18.2 on Forge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
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 2.0 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. Also, if you break a vine block that’s connected to other vines below it, all the vines below will automatically be broken as well.
- 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.
