This mod improves mod interactions, which are possible because of Forge’s new capability system.
This does not provide any actual new content, it only improves existing interactions.
The goal of this mod is to provide standard capabilities that are useful for different mods, without those mods having to depend on each other.<\/p>\n

Initially, this mod was part of Integrated Dynamics, to improve the ‘readability’ for various mods. This has been separated into this new mod because other mods might also benefit from these capabilities without having to depend on Integrated Dynamics.<\/p>\n

This mod provides the following capabilities to the following mods (annotated with Minecraft version applicability):<\/p>\n
