Description
⚡ Armandillo: A cross-platform Lua scripting engine
📖 Overview
Armandillo is a runtime scripting engine built specifically for the Minecraft modding environment. It empowers modpack creators to dynamically manipulate game logic, content, and events using the lightweight and fast Lua scripting language via the LuaJ implementation.
Built on top of the Architectury API, Armandillo supports both Fabric and NeoForge modding platforms, ensuring seamless compatibility across them. Creators can centralize modifications—such as dynamic registration of items, blocks, custom recipes, and advanced event handling—inside external Lua script files, making development modular, flexible, and easy to manage.
With minimal performance overhead and powerful customization capabilities, Armandillo enables modpacks to come alive dynamically and efficiently.
