๐ About This Mod
๐ About Compat API is a lightweight and universal compatibility framework for the entire โCompatโ ecosystem by fixerlink โ including Compat Delight, the upcoming Compat Artifacts, Compat Decor, and any third-party mod that wants an easy, automated way to add cross-mod integrations. Instead of hardcoding compat logic or manually managing data packs, Compat API handles everything for you: auto-loading compat code, injecting data packs, wrapping loot modifiers, applying conditions, and enabling integrations only when the required mods are installed. *** ๐ Features - Smart Compat Scanner: Loads integrations only from mods that explicitly depend on Compat API. - Automatic Compat Code Loading: Detects compat modules in `net.<owner>.<moid>.compats.<target>` and runs their register, init, or bootstrap hooks automatically. - Automatic Data Pack Injection: Loads content from `data/<owner>/<modid>/compats/<target>` as built-in data packs โ only when the target mod exists. - Universal Loot Modifier System: Adds compat conditions automatically and generates the global loot modifier list. - Compatibility Conditions: Built-in condition `compatapi:compat_enabled` ensures integrations load safely and only when appropriate. - Per-Target Config Toggles: Every compat module can be enabled or disabled individually via config. - Safe & Clean System: Compat errors never crash the game โ theyโre logged and gracefully skipped. *** ### ๐ Description How it works: You install Compat API. Thatโs it. If a mod depends on Compat API and includes compat modules, the API will: - detect its compat code - inject its compat data packs - wrap its loot modifiers - apply conditions - and enable integrations automatically If the target mod is missing โ the compat simply wonโt load. No errors, no crashes, no manual setup needed. Mods can freely add compat folders and classes โ Compat API does all the heavy lifting. And of course, every integration can be toggled via config. *** ๐ Bonus Info - Mods that do not depend on Compat API are fully ignored - All integrations load only when their target mods are present - Errors in compat code never break the game - Fully automated system: code, data packs, conditions, loot modifiers - Supports thousands of integrations with minimal boilerplate *** ### ๐งพ Credits Compat API is developed by fixerlink as a universal standard for all Compat-series mods and for developers who want clean, modular, and automated cross-mod integrations. *** <h3 style="text-align:center"><span style="color:#f1c40f"><em><strong>Feedback is welcome!</strong></em></span></h3>
