defCoreLib

# DefCoreLib Shared core library for the (https://def9a2a4.github.io/) plugin family - a data-driven custom-block engine plus demo content. On its own it only ships the engine and some command-only demo items; other plugins build their features on top of it. See https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/ (https://modrinth.com/plugin/defcorelib) ## What it provides - **Custom-block engine** - YAML-driven player-head blocks with states, redstone behavior, particles, light, storage, and animated display entities. In particular, the use of custom heads and display entities allows cool visuals ***without any mods or resource packs!*** - **Custom items & heads, recipe registration, and persistence** (chunk scan + self-healing) that companion plugins reuse instead of reimplementing. - **Mechanism engine** - turns groups of blocks into moving display entities + colliders: glue-based doors/drawbridges and mechanism minecarts. - **Recipe gating** - companion plugins switch their content's recipes on by namespace, so installing one adds a coherent, craftable feature set. - ~20 **command-only** demo blocks (candles, redstone/binary displays, storage barrels, alarms, spinning/pulsing decorations) - grab them with `/defcorelib give`. Not meant to be useful, just there for testing the functionality. ## Used by DefCoreLib is a dependency other plugins install alongside: - **(https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/vslab.md)** - vertical slabs - **(https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/bbanners.md)** - flag banners + large/huge banners - **(https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/mech.md)** - rotation mechanisms, glue, mechanism minecarts - **(https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/redstonedisplays.md)** - redstone power indicator heads - **(https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/pipes.md)** - item-transport pipes ## Gallery | Plugin | Preview | | --- | --- | | (https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/vslab.md) | <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/vslab/vslabs.png" width="220"> <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/vslab/catalog.png" width="220"> | | (https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/bbanners.md) | <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/bbanners/all.png" width="220"> <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/bbanners/huge.png" width="220"> | | (https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/mech.md) | <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/mech/mech.gif" width="220"> <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/mech/mech-ingame.gif" width="220"> <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/mech/catalog-1.png" width="220"> | | (https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/redstonedisplays.md) | <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/rsd/indicators-wall.png" width="220"> <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/rsd/indicators-lectern.png" width="220"> | | (https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/blob/main/docs/readmes/pipes.md) | <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/pipes/demo-1.png" width="220"> <img src="https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/readmes/assets/pipes/demo-2.png" width="220"> | ## Commands Permission `corelib.admin`. | Command | Description | | --- | --- | | `/defcorelib give <id> ` | Give a custom item (`namespace:id` or shorthand; `give glue` -> glue brush) | | `/defcorelib list` | List all registered block ids | | `/defcorelib colliders` | Toggle mechanism collider glow visualization | | `/defcorelib cleanorphans ` | Find (and, with `confirm`, remove) orphaned display entities | ## Requires Nothing - this is the base plugin. ## Links - Docs & item catalog: https://def9a2a4.github.io/defCoreLib-docs/ - Repository: https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/ - Issues: https://github.com/def9a2a4/defCoreLib/issues
