FeatureCreep

Description

FeatureCreep is an upcoming ModLoader and Modding API, it allows you to make version independent mods. Mods made in this will work across many different versions of Minecraft and it has the ability to work on top of a bunch of other mod loaders allowing your mod to passively support many of the existing modloaders across many different versions. Some platforms we currently support include ModLauncher (MCForge, NeoForge, PillowMC), FabricMC (and derivatives), MCForge 1.12.2 and earlier, LiteLoader, Rift Minecraft Modloader, DangerZone 2.x, and more in the future.

For new versions you will see the source code in the SFPMS folder. However FeatureCreep is being modularised so much of the code is being dividied across multiple repos. The Binaries for FeatureCreep API for Minecraft can only be built under a UNIX based system and does not work on Windows unless you use WSL. You must also have the mappings setup correctly, we are in the process of developing an easier to setup build system to generate the game sources for building mods and building FeatureCreep itself. We are in the process of moving to a new website so there is currently no website.

Disclaimer: FeatureCreep 4 is currently in a very Pre Pre Alpha Stage and only avalible for some versions with limited functionality. Only FeatureCreep 4 and newer have modloading capabilities. As of Pre-Release 6 You are currently able to added basic items and tools. It will expand over time. You are not able to access the Minecraft Packages as these change over time and would break version independence. You must use our API if you want version independence. FeatureCreep has the ability to run on many different versions of DangerZone and Minecraft and mods made for FeatureCreep will work acress all off the different versions. Note, this does not make Fabric 1.19.2 mods run on MC Forge 1.12.2 or vice versa, but rather that you make a mod for our platform which runs on top of many other platforms meaning you do not need to port your mod to a bunch of different platforms and can have only 1 file which works on many of them so long as the user has the correct version of FeatureCreep installed. A standalone version of FeatureCreep is also planned.

Work in progress:

We also are working on LIVD and featurecreep-intermediary which will allow you to access the game classes with and work across loaders but not across versions. We are also working on class hotswapping capabilities. We are also working on having great integration with the mod CrashDetector(a first party FeatureCreep mod) and CrashAssistant (When run on top of another loader) to allow you to get an idea when mods on FeatureCreep are failing. CrashDetector will also be able to utilise the hotswapping and intercommunication tech when it comes out to have imporved diagnosics of nonFeatureCreep mods being run in the same instance. featurecreep-intermediary is currently in English however a Spanish version is also in the works as is set to become the default and will allow you to program mods in Spanish without knowing much English, but you will still be able to use the English FCI mappings or another set of mappings, FeatureCreep will be able to detect the runtime mappings and then convert the mods to the runtime mappings.
