FAB Library (Forge)

FAB Library is a powerful tool for Minecraft mod developers that significantly simplifies finding and tracking specific blocks in the game world. This is especially useful when working with modifications that require constant monitoring of certain block states.

Main Features

The library offers flexible search parameter configuration. The key configuration parameter blockCheckAroundEntitiesDelayMs allows setting the delay for checking blocks around entities (default 30000 ms, range from 0 to 3600000 ms). Increasing this value can positively impact server performance (TPS).

Project Integration

To connect the library to your mod, follow these steps:

1. Repository Setup

Add to the build.gradle file:

repositories {
    maven {
        url = "https://github.com/ricksouth/serilum-forge-maven/raw/maven/"
    }
}

2. Adding Dependencies

In the same file, specify dependencies:

dependencies {
    runtimeOnly fg.deobf("com.natamus.fablibrary:fablibrary:VERSION")
    compileOnly fg.deobf("com.natamus.fablibrary:fablibrary:VERSION")
}

3. Version Specification

Replace VERSION with the current version in mcversion-modversion format, for example 1.15.2-1.0.

4. Workspace Update

Execute the command in the project folder:

$ gradlew cleanEclipse eclipse --refresh-dependencies

5. Dependency Configuration

Add to the mods.toml file in the META-INF folder:

[[dependencies.YOURMODID]]
    modId="fablibrary"
    mandatory=true
    versionRange="[1.1,)"
    ordering="NONE"
    side="BOTH"

Replace YOURMODID with your mod's identifier.
