BaguetteLib in FTB Evolution 2

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 guide

BaguetteLib is a library mod, so it isn't something you play with directly. It's built for mod developers who need better event handling than NeoForge's default events offer, mainly for deaths and inventory changes.^[1]

What it gives other mods

• Death events: a mod can catch a death before it happens and cancel it, or react after someone dies. This works on players, mobs and other entities.^[1]
• Inventory events: a mod can react to hotbar changes, armor swaps and item pickups. Each change comes with the old item and the new item, and hands and the offhand get special handling.^[1]
• Developers only need to add it to their mod and register event listeners. The project page says no mixins are required.^[1]

In this pack

The pack ships BaguetteLib 2.0.6, built for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. It's there to support other mods, so you won't find new blocks, items or machines to unlock from it.^[1][2]

Unverified The sources I have don't show which mods in the pack depend on BaguetteLib. They also show no quests for it and no place for it in the pack's progression or the ATM Star path, so I can't say where it fits in a playthrough.

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 guide

BaguetteLib is a library mod, so there's no first item to craft and no setup to do. It's made for mod developers, who use it to handle death events and inventory events more cleanly than NeoForge's own events allow. Other mods can build on it. As a player, you don't interact with it directly.^[1]

What it does behind the scenes

• Death events: other mods can catch a death before it happens (and cancel it) or react after someone dies. This works on players, mobs and other entities.^[1]
• Inventory events: other mods can detect hotbar changes, armor swaps and item pickups, and get both the old and new item for each change. Hands and the offhand get special handling.^[1]

Unverified I found no items, recipes, quests or config options for BaguetteLib in this pack's sources, so there is no crafting order to follow here. Which other mods in the pack rely on it is also unconfirmed.

Same as in the FTB StoneBlock 4 1.21.0 guide

BaguetteLib is a library mod, not a content mod. Its project page describes it as a toolkit for other mod developers who need better death handling and inventory tracking than the standard NeoForge events give them. You won't find machines or multiblocks to build here. What it offers is event hooks that other mods can use.^[1]

Death events

• A mod can catch a death before it happens, and it can cancel that death if it wants to.^[1]
• A mod can also run its own logic after someone has died.^[1]
• The page says this works on everything, including players and mobs.^[1]

Inventory events

• Mods can react to hotbar changes, armor swaps and picking items up.^[1]
• Each change reports both the old item and the new item.^[1]
• Hands and the offhand get special handling.^[1]

How other mods use it

A developer adds BaguetteLib to their mod and registers a handler for the events they care about. The project page shows a handler for the player pre-death event (PlayerDeathEvent.Pre) as its example. It also says no mixins are needed.^[1]

In practice, if another mod in the pack depends on BaguetteLib, it is probably using these events to handle deaths or track inventory changes. As a player you don't interact with BaguetteLib directly.^[1]

Unverified The available sources don't cover any machines, multiblocks, power, fluid or item automation for this mod, and nothing about its items, recipes or configuration in this pack. Which mods in the pack use BaguetteLib, and what they do with these events, is also unconfirmed.

FTB Evolution 2 1.1.0 ships BaguetteLib 2.0.7. The pack's mod list says the mod was already in the pack as of 1.0.2 or earlier, so it has been part of Evolution 2 from the start of the releases covered here.^[3]

What changed in 2.0.7

The 2.0.7 changelog is the one the sources show for this mod, and it is mostly about stability and cleaning up how the mod stores data. Here are the notable points:^[4]

• Fixed clients without BaguetteLib being kicked from NeoForge and Fabric servers. The error was an unknown registry key, baguettelib:curio_slot_data.^[4]
• Curio slot data is now stored in minecraft:custom_data, and old items are migrated automatically when they load, so you shouldn't need to do anything to keep existing items.^[4]
• The mod is now marked as optional on the client.^[4]

For mod developers

If you write addons or scripts against the mod, 2.0.7 has an API change. BaguetteCuriosData.getCurioSlotDataType() and registerSupplier() were removed. The changelog points you to setSlotData, getSlotData, hasSlotData and removeSlotData instead.^[4]

Unverified The sources here do not show any pack changelog entries for BaguetteLib, so what individual FTB Evolution 2 releases changed about it is unverified. Check the pack's own release changelogs for that.
