Pulsar docs #

Pulsar is a library mod, continuation of dark-matter. unlike dark-matter, pulsar is a monolithic util mod, which users download separately. it also opts for mojang mappings over yarn.

these docs are accurate for the Minecraft 1.20.1 version of the mod.

this is a quick overview of the library features, as each class provides javadoc.

out of the more interesting utils, pulsar provides:
