    An Energy API (by TechReborn)

  • The Fabric API standard library is extensive and includes just about everything from Forge. For the things it doesn't include you can just, like, get one and bundle it with your mod so it's not even a separate download. You don't have to "write it yourself". Yes an energy API is an omission but everything else important is right there - networking, rendering stuff, item handling (😬), block and item capabilities, blah blah blah. (What kind of modloader makes the energy api a separate download, right?)

  • MinecraftForge

    Modifications to the Minecraft base files to assist in compatibility between mods. New Discord: https://discord.minecraftforge.net/

  • If you're going to call me a "walking pile of smug misinformation", can you at least get your facts right? The initial implementation of Forge Energy was based off of RF, but it was first implementated in 1.10. But "Redstone Flux", the separate energy API download, exists for 1.12, and was a hard dep of the Thermal moda at the time. If you played a Forge tech pack during that time you downloaded a "separate energy API."
