CICADA (proper backronym pending) is a library mod containing general utilities and common abstractions I use in many of my mod projects.
Some of its features include:
- An api to facilitate inter-mod conversations in the game log.
- Other logging tomfoolery.
- Player rendering independent of a world context.
- A GSON based self-managed mod config template class.
- An abstract mixin plugin to facilitate compatibility mixins.
