A simple library mod for minecraft, made mostly to develop my mods easier, but can be used by anyone!
\nCurrently supported loaders: Fabric, Spigot, & Paper<\/p>\n
## Use in your projects! \ud83d\udc4d\ufe0f
\nWant to use OtterLib in your project? You can add it as a dependency in your `build.gradle` file:
\n“`groovy
\nrepositories {
\n maven {
\n name “oth3rMavenSnapshots”
\n url “https:\/\/maven.oth3r.one\/snapshots”
\n }
\n}
\n“`
\nImplementing on each loader, where `${project.otterlib_version}` is the current version of OtterLib for the loader (e.g. `0.2.0.0+1.21.6`, `0.2.0.0+1.20-1.21.6`)
\n“`groovy
\n\/\/ fabric
\nmodImplementation “one.oth3r:otterlib:${project.otterlib_version}-fabric”
\n\/\/ spigot
\nimplementation “one.oth3r:otterlib:${project.otterlib_version}-spigot”
\n\/\/ paper
\nimplementation “one.oth3r:otterlib:${project.otterlib_version}-paper”
\n“`
\nVisit the maven repository to see more indepth information about the library, including the latest versions.<\/p>\n
## Features<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcac Simple Chat Builder
\n*sample usage*:
\n“`java
\nplayer.sendMessage(new CTxT(“Hello”).color(Color.BLUE).bold(true).strikethrough(true)
\n .append(new CTxT(“World!!!!!!!!!”).rainbow(new Rainbow(true)).underline(true).italic(true)).b());
\n“`
\n*in game example*:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\udcdc Custom Language Reader
\nOtterLib 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.<\/p>\n
### \ud83d\uddc3\ufe0f Robust file saving and loading
\nAdds an interface that enables easy config file creation with support for saving, loading, and updating versions easily.<\/p>\n
*updating an old entry from the json to the new version*:
\n“`java
\n@Override
\npublic void update(JsonElement jsonElement) {
\n JsonObject file = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject();
\n if (file.get(“version”).getAsDouble() == 1.0) {
\n this.version = 1.1;
\n this.test = file.get(“test-bool”).getAsBoolean();
\n }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
### \u2699\ufe0f Custom config screen
\nOtterLib 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.<\/p>\n
*creating the screen*:
\n“`java
\nclient.setScreen(new ConfigScreen(client.currentScreen, Text.of(“test”),
\n new CustomImage(Identifier.of(FabricTest.MOD_ID, “textures\/gui\/banner.png”),240, 60),
\n \/\/ the list of buttons to be displayed in the middle
\n List.of(
\n SimpleButton.Templates.fileEditor(new CTxT(“Test File”), FabricTest.testFile, new CustomImage(Identifier.of(FabricTest.MOD_ID, “button\/server_button”),246,26)).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.fileEditor(new CTxT(“Test File No Image”), FabricTest.testFile).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.wiki(new CTxT(“Help”)).openLink(“https:\/\/oth3r.one”).size(30,30).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.wiki(new CTxT(“Help”)).openLink(“https:\/\/oth3r.one”).size(30,30).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.warning(new CTxT(“Help”)).openLink(“https:\/\/oth3r.one”).size(150,15).hideText(false).build()
\n ),
\n \/\/ the bottom buttons can be customized!
\n List.of(
\n new SimpleButton.Builder(new CTxT(“Donate”))
\n .miniIcon(new CustomImage(Identifier.of(Assets.ID, “icon\/donate”),15,15)).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.donate(new CTxT(“Donate”)).openLink(URI.create(“https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/oth3r”)).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.done(new CTxT(“Done”)).build(),
\n SimpleButton.Templates.wiki(new CTxT(“Wiki”)).openLink(“https:\/\/oth3r.one”).build()
\n )));
