Fun-fact: I´m a Gamer. i just want to play Minecraft java edition...
That being said, i decided to have around 60 mods,
I start to load my first mod from this website and i´m happy to successfully loaded the mod into my modfolder.
Starting Minecraft Oh.. wait what... you need a lib mod for this mod to work, it says.
Okay back to curse, yes there it says "dependencies" xxx.lib.java. Downloading it, copy to mod folder... here we go.
Fine first mod ( rather 2 mods) loaded.
Next mod... this time i´m smarter. check dependencies ;-)... yes there it is. wait what I need 2 mod?
Please load library and api mod in order to work...???
Okay downloaded library mod; next link: api-mod... downloading the "release api-mod", quick copy done...
Loading Minecraft... it says: "your lib mod is wrong you the alpha release of this helper mod".... unghhh :(-....
Needless to say this procedure went on and on.
After i loaded 60 mods into my mod folder i count 125 Mods.
I must be the luckiest Minecraft player, cause i hit the jackpot, (in selecting my modlist) in useless overburden my pc with lib and api /core mods and language interpreter and whatever...!
This what a minecraft player has to face in our days. I clearly see the need of an api and a lib mod.I´d rather have them integrated into my main-mod.
And yes there are Api´s which are widely used.
But what i have to to do with this? I have to hassle a round after modders and collect the so precious additional mods?
Many mod author who publish one single mod feeling entitled for whatever strange reason to externally publishing and api/lib/core mod.
I see only self-centered and derailed reasons for that... in hope "One Day there api´s will be commonly used,yeah!" facepalm.
The mod-authors are here for the players not vice versa!
yeah i understand your frustration. one thing to consider is that the same way its annoying trying to find a mod that adds exactly what you're looking for and doesnt add any redundant features, as a developer sometimes its easier to make your own api. and if you make your own libs then you're most likely going to make your own api for them.
also i feel like intalling 60 mods to begin with is a you problem.
mmmmmmmyeeeeeah, tsk, liiiiike, its just... i feel like you're just KINDA askin' for trouble . __.
I´ve seen this tendency since 1.12.x, my 1.12.2 installation consist of 245 mods and runs smooth and stable after heavy profiling :-) and guess what...less then 50 Core/Lib/Api´s in separated mods, which makes maintenance/updates much easier. Considering the jump from 1.12.x to 1.7 i understand that ton´s of new approaches on how to present your mod are available, but: the more you know about modding, the less overload you deliver.
