Zander Core
Lightweight core library required for Zander’s mod ecosystem
📖About Zander Core
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

💬 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.
If you enjoy my work and want this ecosystem to grow, consider supporting me on Ko-fi.
Every contribution directly keeps development alive.
