If a mod by thethonk asks for a shared library, EpheroLib Mod is the part that makes that setup possible. It bundles common systems for config handling, networking, server-side translations, and world data storage, and it does so without adding any direct gameplay content to Minecraft.
Key Features
- Provides a shared config system through Configurate for Fabric and Forge setups.
- Abstracts networking to hide the packet differences between Fabric and Forge.
- Includes server-side translations built with GSON, reducing the need to distribute language files to the client for supported server-side mods.
- Offers a GSON-based storage abstraction for per-world data.
