FootLib
FootLib is a lightweight API and utility library used by Foot‑series mods. It provides shared systems such as:
Foot Economy API
Currency definitions
Exchange‑rate systems
Auto‑rate engine hooks
Service injection for mod interoperability
FootLib is intentionally minimal, stable, and designed to act as the backbone for the entire Foot ecosystem.
Versioning
FootLib uses a four‑segment versioning system:
Overhaul.Major.Semi‑major.Patch/Hotfix/Minor‑alpha/beta/release
Example: 0.0.1.0 → Semi‑major update (1 in the third position)
Meaning of each segment
Overhaul
A complete rewrite of the codebase, API, and systems. This is a new era of FootLib. Backward compatibility is not preserved.Major Large feature wave. New systems, new mechanics, or major expansions. Backward compatible unless stated otherwise.
Semi‑major Significant content or system additions. Big‑minor updates that don't break API.
Patch / Hotfix / Minor Small updates, bugfixes, micro‑features, or emergency fixes.
Pre‑release tags
‑alpha → Experimental, unstable
‑beta → Feature‑complete, stabilizing
(blank) → Release build/stable
Important Note
An Overhaul (1.x.x.x, 2.x.x.x, etc.) ends support for all previous Foot mods unless explicitly stated otherwise.
This is why FootLib does not use SemVer — SemVer cannot express the difference between a major update and a full architectural overhaul. FootLib's versioning makes the reason for incompatibility explicit. DON'T WORRY THIS MOD IS STILL GETTING UPDATES AND NEW FEATURES, I ALSO JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE MORE PROJECTS IN MIND SO GETTING THEM COMPLETED IS KEY Usage Maven Repo
