Truly Modular: Miapi

Truly Modular: Modular Item API is a modern cross-platform, data-driven Modular Item API. It allows addons/other mods to easily implement highly complex Modular Items.

Dependencies:

• Forge/Neoforge
  • Caelus API
  • Architectory API
• Fabric/Quilt
  • Fabric API
  • Architectory API
    
    
    

If you are a user, this API is basically contentless. Consider checking:

Arsenal

A melee weapon and tool-focused addon

Archery

Focusing on bows, crossbows, and modular arrows

Armory

Modular armor

For Developers:

• Miapi includes various default APIs to streamline cross-platform mod modular item mod development.
• Material stats and their reference:
  • You can simply add a new key to the Material.json and reference them like this "armor_pen": "[material.hardness]*2.0 20", within the module.json
• For examples, one can always check the Arsenal, Archery, and Armory repositories.
• Usable GUI APIs and default extendable Crafter GUI.
• Complex module properties and custom per-property resolving.
• Almost 100 default materials and dozens of default properties to be used.
• Complex and extendable per-module rendering allowing easy implementation of custom new model types and by default extended 3D capabilities.
• Synergies, property injections, and skins are multiple systems that are able to add/modify a module's and/or item's properties.
• Generative Materials: Truly Modular automatically tries to scan other mods' content to add materials automatically. Handmade materials are obviously higher quality, but this adds a good bridge while there is no dedicated compatibility.
• If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask on our discord.

FAQ:

• What launcher is this for? Forge? Fabric?
  • Both, check the jars
• Backport to older versions?
  • Is not planned. There are many features in Truly Modular which have a significantly higher priority than backporting. Once the list of ideas is smaller, we might consider backporting.
• Is X mod supported?
  • probably? Generative Compatiblity has a high chance of working with most mods out of the box. You can check https://github.com/Truly-Modular/Modular-Item-API/blob/main/COMPAT.md for more informations or to report issues
• Can I write an addon for this?
  • Yes, for any help feel free to visit our discord or check the API wiki for additional help.
• Can I use this in a modpack?
  • yes
