o.a.s
Two Minecraft mods written by the same person. They share very little in what they add to the game, and everything in how they are built.
The name comes from the settings file
Every mod from the workshop writes its options under config/oas/,
one file per mod: lethalbreed.json here,
deepcrate.json next to it. On a server running both they sit side by side instead
of being lost among forty others at the root. It started as tidying, and the tidying became the signature.
Three rules that hold on both sides
A hardcoded number is a number decided for everyone. Tiers, ranges, delays, probabilities: anything a server owner might want otherwise is read from the settings file, with a bound that pulls an absurd value back to something playable rather than taking the server down. LethalBreed has three hundred and seventy-two of them, editable by command, on screen or by hand.
Nothing a player reads is written in the code. The two language files,
en_us and fr_fr, carry exactly the same keys, and a line
added on one side alone breaks the build before release. The sites follow the same rule, two complete trees
written by hand, no generator in between.
A mod you cannot extend is a mod you replace. Each of the two publishes its front door, enough to add a tier, a creature, a rule, without patching anything and without asking permission. The six events and the variant registry show what that looks like here.
The two mods
| Mod | What it adds | Where |
|---|---|---|
| LethalBreed | fifteen escalation phases, a plague, zombies that read the terrain and coordinate | this site |
| DeepCrate | eleven crates, a slot from 64 to 512, rows by the module, a paged screen | its site |
Licence
Both ship under the MIT licence, whose full text is in the LICENSE
file that comes with the sources. A modpack bundles them without asking, a server modifies them for its own
use, an addon builds on them: the one obligation is to keep the licence notice where it is.
This site does not follow the mod. The text, the pages and their layout stay the property of their author, which stops nobody from linking to them.
