CorgiLib is a foundational library mod designed to streamline the development and functionality of various mods created by Corgi Taco. It serves as a central repository for shared code and utilities, eliminating redundancy and ensuring a consistent experience across multiple mods. By providing common tools and frameworks, CorgiLib significantly simplifies the process for modders to implement complex features, allowing them to focus on unique gameplay elements rather than reinventing basic functionalities. This library is essential for anyone looking to utilize or develop mods within the Corgi Taco ecosystem, offering a robust and well-tested codebase that enhances overall modding capabilities and game stability. The core of CorgiLib's functionality lies in its sophisticated handling of configuration and game data. It introduces a powerful .json5 configuration serialization system, leveraging Mojang's codecs for robust data management, and crucially, these configuration files are fully commented, making them exceptionally easy to understand and modify. Furthermore, the mod includes commented codecs themselves, providing clear insights into how data is processed. It also features a 'Trees from NBT' capability, allowing for intricate data structures to be managed, and a Blending/Easing Functions codec registry that simplifies the serialization of complex graphical or animation parameters. The inclusion of Entity Filters and a Villager trade codec registry further demonstrates its capacity to enhance game mechanics with organized and accessible configuration options. CorgiLib is designed for broad compatibility across the Minecraft modding landscape. It fully supports the latest versions of Minecraft, including 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20.1, 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.8, and 1.21.11. This extensive version support ensures that players can integrate CorgiLib with their preferred Minecraft installations. The mod is compatible with a wide array of popular mod loaders, specifically Fabric, Forge, NeoForged, and Quilt. Importantly, CorgiLib is required on both the client and the server sides for its features to function correctly, meaning players and server administrators alike must ensure it is installed in their respective mod folders to avoid any compatibility issues or missing functionalities. Installing CorgiLib is a straightforward process, designed to be accessible to users of all experience levels. For users employing Fabric, Forge, NeoForged, or Quilt as their mod loader, the CorgiLib .jar file should be placed directly into the 'mods' folder of your Minecraft installation. Before launching the game, it is crucial to verify that you have the correct version of CorgiLib installed that matches your Minecraft version and your chosen mod loader. Additionally, ensure that all other mods that depend on CorgiLib are also correctly installed and compatible. A quick check of the game's log files after launching can help identify any potential conflicts or errors, guaranteeing a smooth and enjoyable modded Minecraft experience.
