Dasik Libary

🧠 Dasik Library

“The universal Hive Mind foundation powering autonomous animal genetics, dynamic GameRules, and high-performance flocking across Minecraft.”

---

📖 Introduction

Developing modern Minecraft Fabric mods often means facing recurring architectural roadblocks: registering dynamic GameRules on the fly without causing immutable registry lockouts, synchronizing animal genetics and scale attributes across world save cycles, orchestrating swarming and flocking AI without decimating server tick rates, and integrating optional client configuration GUIs without causing fatal ClassNotFoundException crashes on headless dedicated servers.

Dasik Library is the universal standalone foundation engineered to solve these challenges. It provides the high-performance architectural backbone powering every mod across the Vanilla Outsider, Delayed Gratification, and Instant Gratification collections. Designed with strict zero-allocation hot paths, Knot ClassLoader isolation, and modular APIs, it equips developers and players with an enterprise-grade framework for modern Minecraft.

This is a Standalone Universal Core Library / API.

• Universal Single-JAR Standard: Dasik Library ships a single universal cross-version JAR (>=26.1.2-) using pure SemVer. It seamlessly loads across Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.2, 26.3, and future snapshots.
• Both Client & Dedicated Server Ready: Fully compatible with singleplayer clients and multiplayer dedicated servers.
• Zero Standalone Gameplay Bloat: Does not add arbitrary gameplay items or world generation on its own. It runs quietly in the background, providing shared AI, genetics, and registry infrastructure for dependent mods.

✨ Features

🧬 Autonomous Animal Genetics & Breeding API

• Persistent Entity Genetics: Attaches an entity-agnostic genetic data model to living entities via persistent Fabric attachments (dasik-library:genetics), preserving lineage, UUIDs, and generational traits across world saves.
• Triangular Mutation & Outcross Recovery: Implements natural biological breeding math, including triangular mutation distribution, parent trait averaging, multi-tier inbreeding penalties, and genetic outcross recovery.
• Size-Stats Builder & Linked Attributes: Easily bind entity physical scale (minecraft:scale, customizable from 0.1f to 3.0f) to secondary attributes (Max Health, Movement Speed, Attack Damage) via LinkedAttributeRegistry with linear, inverse, or quadratic scaling.
• Genetics-Driven Loot Modification: Uses GeneticsLootRegistry and loot hooks to dynamically scale drops, meat yields, and resources based on entity size and genetic vitality.

⚙️ Dynamic GameRule Registration & Auto-Translation Engine

• On-Demand Registry Unfreezing: Safely unfreezes BuiltInRegistries.GAME_RULE at runtime via MappedRegistryAccessor, allowing consumer mods and addons to register custom GameRules without startup race conditions or registry lockouts.
• Automatic Translation Injection: Dynamically generates human-readable translation keys and injects them into vanilla’s Language map (dasik$injectDynamicGameRuleTranslations), eliminating missing string placeholders.
• World Save Persistence: Seamlessly intercepts SavedData serialization (GameRuleMapMixin), ensuring dynamic GameRule changes made via /gamerule persist reliably in level.dat and game_rules.dat.
• Automated Orphaned Rule Pruning: Hooks ServerLifecycleEvents.SERVER_STARTING to detect and cleanly purge orphaned dynamic GameRules left behind when mods are uninstalled, keeping world save files pristine.
• Math Conversion Helpers: Built-in calculation utilities for percentages, permilles, and deciles (getPct, getChance, getProb, getDecileFloat).

🦅 High-Performance Swarm & Flocking AI (Cached Boids)

• O(N) Leader-Follower Pattern: Eliminates expensive O(N²) pairwise distance checks by computing and caching group metrics (FlockState) exclusively on the pack Leader, enabling smooth swarms of 100+ entities at a solid 20 TPS.
• Biomechanical Steering: Full Alignment, Cohesion, and Separation vector steering calculations for realistic aerial murmurations (AerialFlockingStrategy) and terrestrial pack movement (TerrestrialFlockingStrategy).
• Resilient Following: Integrated water navigation penalty bypass and catch-up teleportation thresholds to ensure pack members never get lost across chunk boundaries.

📡 The Hive Mind & Decoupled Signal Bus

• Decoupled Social Signals: High-throughput SignalBus enables mobs to emit and receive alerts, warnings, and mood updates across species without hard-coded class couplings.
• Scope Isolation: Targeted signal delivery (Scope.SAME_SPECIES, Scope.HERD, Scope.GLOBAL) with safe instance checks.
• Lazy Freeze Architecture: Solves mod initialization race conditions by allowing modules to register social events during mod init while locking the registry safely at server tick.

🖥️ Optional GUI Integration & Server ClassLoader Safety

• Classloader-Isolated Config Screen Resolver: GuiHelper dynamically discovers and invokes YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) and Cloth Config via reflection and Knot ClassLoader isolation.
• 100% Dedicated Server Crash Immunity: Completely prevents client GUI classes from loading on dedicated servers, eliminating server startup crashes.
• Standardized Creator Support: Provides DasikSupportHelper to embed standardized creator support buttons across config screen category pages.

🛡️ Enterprise Stability & Zero-Allocation Hot Paths

• Atomic File Persistence: ConfigHelper manages JSON read/write operations using temporary file atomic swaps and automatic backup generation.
• Zero-Allocation Rendering: Zero-byte heap allocation architecture across high-frequency tick and render paths.

🚀 Developer Quick Start & Implementation Guide

Integrating Dasik Library into your own Fabric mod takes only a few lines of code:

1. Gradle Setup

Add the Modrinth Maven repository and declare the dependency in your build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "Modrinth"
        url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven"
    }
}

dependencies {
    modImplementation "maven.modrinth:dasik-library:<latest-version>"
}

2. Registering a Dynamic GameRule

Register a GameRule with automatic English translation and category bolding:

import net.dasik.social.api.gamerule.DynamicGameRuleManager;

// Registers 'my_mod:drop_multiplier' with a default value of 2 under the 'Gameplay' category
DynamicGameRuleManager.registerIntegerRule(
    "my_mod:drop_multiplier",
    2,
    "Drop Multiplier",
    "Gameplay"
);

3. Binding Animal Scale to Health and Speed

Link physical size to combat and mobility attributes:

import net.dasik.social.api.genetics.SizeStatsBuilder;
import net.dasik.social.api.genetics.LinkMode;
import net.minecraft.world.entity.ai.attributes.Attributes;

SizeStatsBuilder.create("my_mod:beast_genetics")
    .linkAttribute(Attributes.MAX_HEALTH, LinkMode.PROPORTIONAL, 2.0f)
    .linkAttribute(Attributes.MOVEMENT_SPEED, LinkMode.INVERSE, 0.5f)
    .register();

4. Declaring the Dependency in fabric.mod.json

"depends": {
  "fabricloader": ">=0.16.10",
  "minecraft": ">=26.1.2-",
  "fabric-api": "*",
  "dasik-library": ">=1.9.0"
}

⚙️ Core Configuration & Save Architecture

Config vs. In-Game GameRules: The global configuration file only defines default values for newly created worlds. In existing worlds, change settings in-game via the Edit Game Rules UI screen or the /gamerule command.

Dasik Library manages dynamic GameRule states natively within your world save files:

• World Storage: Stored in <world_save>/data/game_rules.dat and level.dat.
• Zero Residual Clutter: When you remove a mod that registered dynamic rules, Dasik Library’s startup pruning engine detects the absent namespace and unregisters orphaned entries, preventing console spam and bloated save files.

📖 In-Depth How-To & Integration Playbook

1. For Survival Players & Server Administrators

1. Download the latest dasik-library-*.jar release.
2. Place the JAR directly into your .minecraft/mods folder along with Fabric API.
3. Launch Minecraft. Dasik Library operates silently and efficiently in the background, providing foundational services for your installed mods.
4. When configuring GameRules in-game via the Edit Game Rules screen or /gamerule, all rules registered by Dasik-powered mods are automatically translated, organized into categories, and saved directly to the world file.

2. For Modpack Creators

1. Universal Multi-Version Support: You do not need separate builds of Dasik Library for minor Minecraft patches — one build handles MC 26.1.2, 26.2, and 26.3+.
2. Server-Safe: Include Dasik Library in both client and server modpacks without fear of client GUI crashes.
3. Clean World Upgrades: When updating modpacks and removing deprecated mods, the library automatically purges orphaned GameRules on the next server launch.

3. For Mod Developers

1. Declare dasik-library in your fabric.mod.json with version constraint >=1.9.0.
2. Leverage DynamicGameRuleManager to avoid writing repetitive GameRule boilerplate and translation files.
3. Use GuiHelper to supply optional YACL or Cloth Config GUIs that open seamlessly via ModMenu while preserving 100% server safety.
