XyCraft - Return of the Legendary Mod

After nearly a decade-long hiatus, the legendary XyCraft mod is back!

Core Concept

XyCraft Core serves as the fundamental foundation for all XyCraft series mods, as well as for other modifications that want to integrate with this system. It's important to note that XyCraft functionality is divided into separate modules, allowing players to choose exactly the components they need and simplifying the development process.

Key Features

• Connected texture system
• Famous cloud sprites
• Registry systems
• Required mixins and access transformers

For Players

By itself, the Core module doesn't add gameplay content, so it's recommended to install it together with XyCraft World and XyCraft Override. Each of these modules performs its unique function and expands gameplay possibilities.

For Developers

Mod, modpack, and resource pack developers are provided with a simple way to connect to the connected texture system. Implementation examples and documentation are available in the public GitHub repository. Many features are available for use even without the need to compile with XyCraft.

Future Plans

Research is underway on the possibility of implementing a color blindness mode. Although many mod elements are based on color solutions, especially in the decorative part, the main goal is to ensure the accessibility of functional aspects for all players regardless of color perception characteristics.
