Welcome to the FactoryAPI Wiki!

Here you will learn about features for developers and even regular players!

Clearly the main focus of the Factory API is for developers, but that doesn't stop it from having some features for players as well.

Basic Concepts

Player Features

  • UI Definition | a way to change the interface with .json files in <namespace>:ui_definitions/ with just the use of resource packs
  • Manual Mipmapping | a way to use non-autogenerated textures for mipmap levels, either by using a default directory (configurable), or by specifying textures in a .mcmeta file on the block texture that will be mipmapped
  • Random Block Rotations | a toggle for the random block rotations, such as grass blocks and sand
  • Nearest Mipmap Scaling | a toggle for a slightly less demanding autogenerated-mipmapping mode, using a nearest texture scaling

Developer Features

  • UIAccessor | a unified way to access parts of the game's interface, without the need for any workarounds
  • FactoryConfig | an easy configuration system using the vanilla Codec, which has server/client synchronization capabilities, support for per-world configs, and a display control for creating a widget on the client-side
  • FactoryMixinToggle | an alternative to FactoryConfig to be used exclusively with mixin toggles, without using vanilla classes, which can be easily converted to the respective FactoryConfig classes
  • CommonNetwork | a unified way of registering and sending packets, with minimal changes between game versions
  • CommonRecipeManager | a unified way of accessing the recipes loaded, both on the server-side and on the client-side (synchronizing the recipes +1.21.2)
  • IFactoryStorage | an interface to expose the storages of a BlockEntity to mod loaders' accessors
  • FactoryStorage | a class for identifiers of the default implemented storages, used in IFactoryStorage.getStorage
  • IFactoryItem | an interface to expose the storages of an Item to mod loaders' accessors, and some other client features such block entity renderer and custom armor models
  • RegistryListing | a class to facilitate registration between mod loaders, also allowing the organization of holders between different listings
  • FactoryAPIPlatform | a class for numerous methods unified across mod loaders and game versions, from getting information about loaded mods to creating instances of RegistryListing
  • ItemContainerPlatform | a class focused on facilitating interaction with fluid and energy containers between mod loaders
