Waila Events
Waila Events is a core mod that extends the functionality of the popular Waila mod by adding new events. This project doesn't introduce visible changes for regular players but serves as an important tool for developers of other modifications, enabling them to implement features that were previously unavailable.
Main Events
The mod adds two key events to the Waila system:
- WailaRenderEvent.Pre - triggered before the Waila interface is rendered. This event can be canceled to prevent the HUD from appearing on screen.
- WailaRenderEvent.Post - activated after the Waila interface rendering is completed. This event cannot be canceled.
Frequently Asked Questions
For Regular Players
Question: Why should I install this mod if I'm a regular player? Answer: Some modifications require Waila Events for their proper functioning. If you plan to use such mods, you'll need to install this library. Work is currently underway to compile a list of dependent modifications.
For Developers
Question: How can I use this mod in my developments? Answer: Waila Events integrates two new events through the Forge event system. Using these events is similar to working with traditional Forge events. To compile your mod with Waila Events support, you'll need to add appropriate dependencies to the build.gradle file.
Question: Can I create an automatic dependency loader? Answer: Yes, you can develop a system for automatic loading and installation of this mod. It's recommended to use official sources for downloading files.
Compatibility and Installation
Question: Is the mod compatible with servers and clients? Answer: Waila Events is a client-optional library. This means the mod can be installed on the server, while clients won't need it to connect. However, currently, installing it on the server provides no advantages since all event handlers work exclusively on the client side.
Question: Can this mod be included in mod packs? Answer: Yes, you can freely use Waila Events in your mod packs provided they are not intended for commercial sale. Special permission from the author is not required.
