📖 About
An accompanying mod for Connector that adds integration with third-party APIs and mods.
🧩 Modules
Connector Extras is divided into several submodules for each type of integration.
Team Reborn Energy API Bridge
A bridge between Forge Energy (FE) and Team Reborn's Energy API (E) that allows
two-way conversion of energy units, for both BlockEntities and ItemStacks.
The default conversion ratio is 1 E : 10 FE, and can be configured for both directions individually.
Setting a ratio to 0 will disable conversion in its direction.
REI Plugin Platform Bridge
Runs REI's Fabric plugin detector on Forge in addition to the default
one, allowing it to load plugins from mods of both platforms at once.
Includes parts of REI Fabric code in the me.shedaniel.rei package, licensed under the
MIT License.
EMI Plugin Platform Bridge
Similar to the REI Bridge, it loads EMI plugins of Fabric mods on Forge.
Includes parts of EMI API code in the dev.emi.emi.api package, licensed under the
MIT License.
Reach Entity Attributes - Forge
A Forge port of the Fabric Reach Entity Attributes library, implemented alongside Forge's own reach attributes. Allows for compatiblity with Fabric mods that require it, but wouldn't otherwise be compatible due to the heavy forge mixin conflicts of the original version.
Architectury API Bridge
Registers mod event buses of Fabric mods to Architectury Forge to avoid registry init issues.
Terrablender Bridge
Runs the terrablender of Fabric mods on Forge, making their usage with the Forge version
of TerraBlender possible.
Geckolib
Geckolib Forge is incompatible with most Fabric mods that use Geckolib for Fabric. In these cases, Geckolib Fabric must be used instead. Connector Extras fixes a few issues that have arised with this version:
- To improve compatibility, we bridge Gekolib's
RenderProviderto Forge, fixing an issue that turned some items invisible. - Initialize
Minecraft#resourceManagerbefore Connector loads fabric mods, which is required to run Geckolib Fabric
ModMenu
Integrates ModMenu the config screen factory with Forge's mod list gui.
Amecs API - Forge port
A Forge port of the Fabric Amecs API library, implemented alongside Forge's key modifier system. Allows for compatiblity with Fabric mods that require it, but wouldn't otherwise be compatible due to the heavy forge mixin conflicts of the original version.
Forge Config API Port - Forge bridge
A clean implementation of Forge Config API Port on Forge, allowing Fabric mods to easily access the Forge config system and register their own configs.
