No reviews yet
A cool new simple library mod that everyone can use!
Does not follow a specific thematic focus apart from vanilla Minecraft.
Used for mods with little to no gameplay elements.
Includes quality of life improvements and small tweaks to enhance and customize gameplay.
Adds tools to customize the user interface and menus.
Provides a framework or library for other mods to use.
Fabric is a mod loader for versions 1.14+ of Minecraft, particularly popular for client side and optimization mods.
Paper is a fork of Spigot that adds its own plugin API on top of the Bukkit API. All Spigot plugins are compatible with paper, not all paper plugins are compatible with Spigot.
Spigot is a popular software for running dedicated servers that can load Plugins created with the Bukkit API.
Quilt is a fork of the Fabric mod loader. Many Fabric mods are compatible with Quilt and vice versa.

💬 Simple Chat Builder
sample usage:
player.sendMessage(new CTxT("Hello").color(Color.BLUE).bold(true).strikethrough(true)
.append(new CTxT("World!!!!!!!!!").rainbow(new Rainbow(true)).underline(true).italic(true)).b());
in game example:

📜 Custom Language Reader
OtterLib provides a custom language reader that allows you to easily have server-side localization on all supported loaders. There is also support for a secondary location for locales for easy player overrides.
🗃️ Robust file saving and loading
Adds an interface that enables easy config file creation with support for saving, loading, and updating versions easily.
updating an old entry from the json to the new version:
@Override
public void update(JsonElement jsonElement) {
JsonObject file = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject();
if (file.get("version").getAsDouble() == 1.0) {
this.version = 1.1;
this.test = file.get("test-bool").getAsBoolean();
}
}
⚙️ Custom config screen
OtterLib offers a custom config screen that can be cuztomized to offer a way to edit multiple config files, link to social media, or even open different screens.
creating the screen:
client.setScreen(new ConfigScreen(client.currentScreen, Text.of("test"),
new CustomImage(Identifier.of(FabricTest.MOD_ID, "textures/gui/banner.png"),240, 60),
// the list of buttons to be displayed in the middle
List.of(
SimpleButton.Templates.fileEditor(new CTxT("Test File"), FabricTest.testFile, new CustomImage(Identifier.of(FabricTest.MOD_ID, "button/server_button"),246,26)).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.fileEditor(new CTxT("Test File No Image"), FabricTest.testFile).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.wiki(new CTxT("Help")).openLink("https://oth3r.one").size(30,30).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.wiki(new CTxT("Help")).openLink("https://oth3r.one").size(30,30).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.warning(new CTxT("Help")).openLink("https://oth3r.one").size(150,15).hideText(false).build()
),
// the bottom buttons can be customized!
List.of(
new SimpleButton.Builder(new CTxT("Donate"))
.miniIcon(new CustomImage(Identifier.of(Assets.ID, "icon/donate"),15,15)).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.donate(new CTxT("Donate")).openLink(URI.create("https://ko-fi.com/oth3r")).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.done(new CTxT("Done")).build(),
SimpleButton.Templates.wiki(new CTxT("Wiki")).openLink("https://oth3r.one").build()
)));
main config screen in game:

file editor in game: (individual entry editor is planned, this is just a simple placeholder)
