BGames Library

BGames Library Mod

bGames Library Mod is a library for Fabric and Forge designed to integrate with other mods. It establishes a connection with bGames, allowing the player to authenticate and view their bGames points.

Before Starting

Upon initializing Minecraft with the installed mod, a configuration file will be created depending on the modloader being used. This file will be located in the .minecraft/config folder and should be configured based on the bGames server you wish to connect to (if the bGames server is set to default, you would simply need to change the URL).

Forge

File: bgames-common-application.toml
 

Fabric

File: bGames-config.json
 

Once the file has been modified and saved, don’t forget to restart the game.
 

Getting Started

Upon entering a world, a valid bGames profile will be requested, displaying the following login screen:
 

This screen allows the user to connect to bGames and obtain their dimensions points in Minecraft. If the connection fails due to an error or invalid entry, the screen will close and inform the user through the chat. This window can be reopened using the "/login" command.
 

Once the user is authenticated with bGames, they will be able to use the library button present in the inventory.
 

Pressing this button will display the points previously obtained in a new window, informing the user of the points available for use. These points are updated every time the modal is opened.
 

Note: In version 1.0.3 of the library, only 5 dimensions classifications are used, attributes are not considered. This may vary in the future with the inclusion of new dimensions.

bGames Account

Minecraft Forge | FabricMc

Questions and Answers (FAQ)

What is Blended Games (bGames)?

Blended Games is an open source project/framework developed by the InTeractiOn Lab at the University of Santiago de Chile. Its goal is to promote the development of video games that facilitate a balance between day to day tasks and virtual life, in order to prevent harmful situations for players, such as video game addiction.
 

How does bGames work?

bGames works through a series of services that measure and store a player’s activity in a cloud profile. The points that constitute these profiles come from activities tracked by software and hardware. This could include, for example, a player’s statistics on Chess.com or their mobile phone time use. These points are then categorized into various dimensions and attributes, which can be exchanged for advantages in video games.
