Librarianlib FAQ

LibrarianLib is a library mod that works automatically once installed—you don't need to configure it. Other mods that depend on LibrarianLib will use its features behind the scenes.

Mark the fields you want to sync with the @Save annotation, and LibrarianLib will handle the network communication automatically. Check the guide on syncing custom data for setup details specific to tile entities or packets.

Yes—LibrarianLib's GUI library uses a modular, constraint-based system that lets you build layouts without magic numbers. See the custom GUI guide for examples of positioning elements relative to each other.

LibrarianLib's particle system is optimized to handle thousands of particles efficiently, so it should have minimal impact on most systems. If you're spawning massive numbers of particles, the guide on particle effects covers best practices.

Yes, LibrarianLib can auto-generate models for items and blocks that don't have custom models defined. This feature can be disabled if you want to use only custom models.

LibrarianLib lets you define data-driven sprite sheets that keep your GUI code clean and organized. The sprite sheet guide shows how to set up and reference sprites in your GUI layouts.

LibrarianLib is designed to coexist with other mods and doesn't conflict with standard library mods. If you encounter issues, check that you're using compatible versions for your Minecraft version.

Yes, LibrarianLib includes a shader system for adding custom visual effects. You'll need to write shader code and integrate it with your mod's rendering logic.

The field may not sync properly between client and server, causing desynchronization issues. Make sure to follow the setup requirements in the data syncing guide for your specific use case (tile entity, packet, etc.).

Yes, LibrarianLib automatically registers item colors and other model-related properties, reducing boilerplate code. You can still override this behavior if you need custom color logic.
