Details
ZanderCore is a lightweight and efficient core library designed to support my mod ecosystem, with a strong focus on vanilla-like progression and clean internal systems.
It does not add direct gameplay content by itself. Instead, progression is unlocked naturally through existing vanilla milestones:
Obtaining a Crafting Table unlocks the Reinforced Crafting Table
Obtaining a Smithing Table unlocks the Compression Table
Obtaining a Book unlocks the Reinforced Recipe Book
This approach ensures that all systems feel integrated, intuitive, and earned through normal gameplay.
📌 Pinned Recipes
You can pin any recipe to keep it visible while crafting.
- Click the pin icon on a recipe to pin or unpin it.
- Pinned recipes stay on screen for quick reference.
You can also move pinned recipes:
- Press K or Z to adjust the position of pinned recipes on the screen.
ZanderCore provides:
Custom recipe systems
GUI frameworks
Capability handling
Network packets
Utility functions for future expansions
If you're using any of my reinforced mods, ZanderCore is required.

Compatibility modules for community use
💬 Support Creating high-quality mods takes time, energy, and resources. Without consistent support, it becomes extremely difficult to continue updating the core, adding new systems, or developing future mods.
