📖 About

Compat API is a lightweight and universal compatibility framework for the entire “Compat” ecosystem by fixerlink — including Compat Delight, the upcoming Compat Artifacts, Compat Decor, and any third-party mod that wants an easy, automated way to add cross-mod integrations.

Instead of hardcoding compat logic or manually managing data packs, Compat API handles everything for you: auto-loading compat code, injecting data packs, wrapping loot modifiers, applying conditions, and enabling integrations only when the required mods are installed.

📃 Features

Smart Compat Scanner: Loads integrations only from mods that explicitly depend on Compat API.
Automatic Compat Code Loading: Detects compat modules in net.<owner>.<moid>.compats.<target> and runs their register, init, or bootstrap hooks automatically.
Automatic Data Pack Injection: Loads content from data/<owner>/<modid>/compats/<target> as built-in data packs — only when the target mod exists.
Universal Loot Modifier System: Adds compat conditions automatically and generates the global loot modifier list.
Compatibility Conditions: Built-in condition compatapi:compat_enabled ensures integrations load safely and only when appropriate.
Per-Target Config Toggles: Every compat module can be enabled or disabled individually via config.
Safe & Clean System: Compat errors never crash the game — they’re logged and gracefully skipped.

📝 Description

How it works:

You install Compat API. That’s it.

If a mod depends on Compat API and includes compat modules, the API will:

detect its compat code
inject its compat data packs
wrap its loot modifiers
apply conditions
and enable integrations automatically

If the target mod is missing — the compat simply won’t load. No errors, no crashes, no manual setup needed. Mods can freely add compat folders and classes — Compat API does all the heavy lifting. And of course, every integration can be toggled via config.

🎁 Bonus Info

Mods that do not depend on Compat API are fully ignored
All integrations load only when their target mods are present
Errors in compat code never break the game
Fully automated system: code, data packs, conditions, loot modifiers
Supports thousands of integrations with minimal boilerplate
