Porting Dead Libs in All the Mods 11

Porting Dead Libs is a library mod, so it doesn't add gameplay content of its own. Other mods from Porting Dead Mods use it as a shared foundation, and you won't normally interact with it directly.^[1]

This pack includes version 1.1.14 of the mod.^[2]

What the library provides

• A multiblock API with support for dynamically sized multiblocks, multiblocks with dynamic blocks, and a preview renderer.^[1]
• A block entity API that wraps NeoForge capabilities and supports sided I/O.^[1]
• A screen API called "components", which lets mod authors split GUI features into reusable pieces.^[1]
• Automatic capability registration for items and block entities, plus a collection of general utilities.^[1]

Because it's a library, the features above are for other mods to build on. They are tools for mod developers rather than items you craft or blocks you place.^[1]

Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 guide

Good news: there is nothing to craft first. Porting Dead Libs is a library mod, a shared toolkit that other mods from the same developer group build on, so it is not something you progress through yourself.^[1]

What it gives other mods

The project page lists what the library provides to the mods that depend on it. This is what you may notice working behind the scenes:^[1]

• A multiblock API with support for dynamically sized multiblocks, multiblocks with dynamic blocks, and a preview renderer.^[1]
• A block entity API with abstractions for NeoForge capabilities, including support for sided I/O.^[1]
• A screen API called "components", which lets a mod split GUI features into reusable parts.^[1]
• Automatic capability registration for items and block entities, plus a collection of general utilities.^[1]

What you may see in game

The mod's own language file includes a multiblock info string that shows block coordinates in the format "Coordinates: %d, %d, %d". If you see a multiblock readout like that in another mod's screen, this library is the likely source of the feature.^[1][3]

Unverified The sources here show no quests, recipes or config files for this mod in the pack, so there is no first item to make and no setting to change. If you want to know how a specific multiblock or machine works, check the mod that uses this library.

Same as in the FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 guide

Porting Dead Libs is a library mod for all of Porting Dead Mods' mods. It supplies shared building blocks that other mods use, so the sources describe what the library offers to developers. They do not describe any machines, recipes or settings that belong to the library itself.^[1]

Multiblocks

The library has a multiblock API. It supports dynamically sized multiblocks, multiblocks with dynamic blocks, and a preview renderer.^[1]

The library's language file also has a multiblock info string that displays a block's coordinates.^[3]

Block entities, power, fluids and items

The library has a block entity API that provides abstractions for NeoForge's capabilities. This API also supports sided I/O.^[1]

The library also does auto-capability registration for both items and block entities.^[1]

Screens

The screen API is called "components". It lets you split GUI features up into components and reuse them.^[1]

All the Mods 11 0.12.0-beta ships Porting Dead Libs version 1.1.14. The pack's mod list shows it was first included in this release or an earlier one, so the sources here can't tell you exactly when it arrived.^[2]

The mod's own 1.1.14 changelog is only a version heading, with no listed changes. That means there are no notable changes I can point you to for this version.^[4]
