Noxesium

A fabric mod with feature additions, bugfixes, and performance improvements. It allows servers to offer a better experience to clients through access to additional features beyond vanilla limitations.

Server developers are welcome to submit additional patches they need, however all non-performance changes must be fully optional to use. No client-side configuration is available as behaviour should be decided by the server.

Usage

Public builds of Noxesium can be found on the Modrinth page. Upcoming releases can be found on the Releases page here on GitHub.

For developers

Any developers interested in writing code that interacts with Noxesium should have a look at the api module which contains various structures useful for setting up a server-side implementation that interacts with Noxesium. This modules does not have a dependency on fabric and can thus be used as a dependency in server software.

Further information about specific features of the mod can be found on the Wiki page.
