What It Provides in Ash API

Ash API groups its services into a small number of areas:

• Loader information — which loader is running, whether a given mod is installed, whether the game is in a development environment, and where the game and config folders live.
• Mod options — a small JSON config system that reads and writes a file per mod, falls back to defaults when the file is missing or damaged, and replaces the file automatically when a mod raises its config version.
• Options screen — a ready-made screen class for showing a mod's settings, plus a registry so that screen can be opened straight from the in-game mod list.
• Key bindings — registering a key that shows up in the normal Controls screen under the category the mod chooses.
• Client tick events — callbacks that run before and after each client tick.
• Resource loading — registering a listener that runs whenever resource packs are reloaded.
• Block interaction — a callback that fires when a player right-clicks a block, which can allow or cancel the interaction.
