YUNG’s API
YUNG’s API (jar YungsApi-1.20-Fabric-4.0.6.jar) is the shared library underpinning every other YUNG’s mod in the pack. Its fabric.mod.json describes it plainly: “API Library for YUNG’s minecraft mods.” It has no gameplay content of its own — no structures, no items — but supplies the common jigsaw/structure-piece placement code, world-gen utilities, and the Cloth Config-based configuration-screen framework that all ten downstream YUNG’s mods (the nine “Better X” structure overhauls plus YUNG’s Bridges) declare as a hard dependency (YUNG’s Bridges, for example, requires yungsapi >= 1.20-Fabric-4.0.1). There is no standalone config file for it under prominence2/config/ — it just needs to be present and version-matched for the rest of the suite to load.
If YUNG’s API is ever missing or version-mismatched, every other YUNG’s mod in this pack will fail to load, so it’s effectively load-bearing infrastructure rather than a mod players will ever notice directly.
