Prism API: A new perspective on UI

💎 Prism API

The Ultimate Rendering Framework for Minecraft NeoForge/Fabric.

Prism is a high-performance, developer-friendly UI and rendering library designed to bridge the gap between “standard modded UIs” and “professional dashboard experiences.” It provides a suite of tools for handling complex layouts, fluid dynamics, and butter-smooth animations with minimal boilerplate.

⚠️ Prism API is a Library Mod!

This mod does not add any content to the game on its own. It is a technical dependency used by other mods.

• Players: You only need this if another mod specifically requires it.
• Developers: Check our [GitHub/Wiki] for documentation on how to use this API.

✨ Features

• ⚡ Hybrid Rendering: Combines immediate-mode convenience with retained-mode efficiency.
• 🌊 Advanced Fluid Tanks: Built-in support for animated fluid rendering with custom tiling, UV clipping, and dynamic tooltips.
• 📈 Smooth Motion Engine: A full suite of 30+ easing functions (Sine, Elastic, Bounce, etc.) with Delta-Time independent smoothing.
• 🌈 Gradient Typography: Per-character color interpolation supporting Component color multiplication (tinting).
• 📐 Adaptive Layouts: Flex-box inspired PrismLayout system for automatic horizontal and vertical element positioning.
• ✂️ Precision Clipping: Easy-to-use Scissor API for marquees, scrolling lists, and contained UI elements.
