* Adding custom crafting blueprints.

* Adding spawn points for modded and vanilla game items.

> This library is only infrastructure for mods and does not provide any assets or asset bundles.

## Special Thanks

[WulfMarius](https://github.com/WulfMarius) was the original creator of [ModComponent](https://github.com/WulfMarius/ModComponent) and [AssetLoader](https://github.com/WulfMarius/AssetLoader). I am very grateful for all the contributions he made to the modding community, and I'm honored to have adopted so many of his mods. Rebuilding and improving ModComponent has been incredibly fun despite all the time it's taken. Although much more than half of the code is my own now, this project was initially built on the framework he left behind.

## [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/ds5678)

I know many people might skip over this, but I hope you don't. You are so special, and I would appreciate your support. Modding takes lots of time, and I have expenses like food, internet, and rent. If you feel that I have improved your playing experience, please consider supporting me on my [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/ds5678). Your support helps to ensure that I can continue making mods for you at the pace I am :)
