LunatriusCore — Guide

Integrated Mods

LunatriusCore serves as the engine for several high-profile mods. Below are the primary mods that require this core to function:

Schematica

Allows players to display a ghost image of a schematic file inside the world. This is used for rebuilding structures or exporting parts of a world into a .schematic file. * Features: Ghost rendering, printer mode (automatic block placement), and schematic manipulation (rotate/flip). * Visuals: Transparent blue-print style overlays.

InGame Info XML

A highly customizable HUD mod that displays real-time information on the screen without opening the F3 menu. * Customization: Uses XML, JSON, or plain text formats to define what data is shown. * Variables: Can display coordinates, biome, light levels, tool durability, potion effects, and more.

Monster Spawn Highlighter

Visualizes exactly where hostile mobs can spawn by placing color-coded markers on the ground. * Red X: Mobs can spawn here at any time. * Yellow X: Mobs can only spawn here at night.

Stackie

Optimizes server and client performance by automatically stacking items and experience orbs on the ground. * Stack Limits: Can stack items up to 127 or more (configurable). * Lag Reduction: Significantly reduces entity count in high-drop areas like mob farms.

DynIMC

A utility for modpack creators that allows sending custom Inter-Mod Communication messages to other mods via a simple configuration file.

Mechanics and Shared Code

As a library, LunatriusCore introduces several technical mechanics that improve the modding environment:

Commands

While LunatriusCore itself does not add gameplay commands, it enables the command structures for its dependent mods. Common commands enabled by this core include: * /schematica - Accesses schematic management. * /igi - Controls the InGame Info HUD (e.g., /igi reload, /igi taglist).
