Description
OverlayLib
A rendering library for live info-overlays
Overlays
This mod allows other mods to create "Overlays", which can render textures on some or even all blocks with variable color, texture and more, built with informative overlays in mind (e.g. a light level overlay).
This is a LIBRARY mod.
This is a library mod, so only installing this without any other mods won't do anything.
Some features
- All rendering is done for you with custom shaders and pipelines
- Configurable yet simple computing of overlay information
- Caching of overlay data to prevent recomputation every frame
- Presets for OverlayRenderers and OverlayManagers so you don't have to! (You can code your own too though)
For Developers
Add OverlayLib to your fabric dependencies:
{ "depends": { "overlaylib": "VERSION" // Replace VERSION with a version selector } }Add the modrinth maven to your repositories in build.gradle:
repositories { maven { url "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" } }Add OverlayLib to your gradle dependencies:
dependencies { modApi "maven.modrinth:overlaylib:VERSION" // Replace VERSION with a version number }Now you can start using OverlayLib:
import net.lugo.overlaylib.Overlay Overlay myOverlay = new Overlay(...); myOverlay.register();Compatibility
