CatFrame
A modern foundation library for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10.
CatFrame is a modern foundation library for Minecraft Forge 1.7.10, backporting many of the engine, rendering, resource, and UI systems introduced in newer versions of Minecraft.
Its goal is not simply to recreate individual features, but to provide the underlying architecture needed for modern, data-driven mod development on the legacy 1.7.10 platform.
For Player
CatFrame is intended as a shared infrastructure library rather than a standalone content mod.
It serves as the foundation for my Minecraft 1.7.10 projects and is designed to make the modern, maintainable, and data-driven mod development possible on a legacy Minecraft version, which this type of development is already archieved in the modern minecraft.
