About YapYap Wiki
The YapYap Wiki is a collective effort maintained by the YapYapModding organization. Our mission is to document the inner workings of YapYap and provide a central hub for creators to share their knowledge.
Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, we welcome your help! Minor typos can be fixed with a quick pull request, but for larger guides, we’d love to coordinate with you first.
Most of our live troubleshooting and brainstorming happens on the YapYap Modding Discord server. For tracking bugs or suggesting wiki features, you can also find us on GitHub.
Essential Libraries
Section titled “Essential Libraries”While the community doesn’t have a single “all-in-one” official API yet, we rely on several high-quality libraries to keep mods compatible and stable. If you are developing a mod, we highly recommend looking into these:
- FrogDataLib: Despite the name, it’s not just for frogs! This is the standard for handling persistent data, allowing mods to save information into specific save slots correctly.
- MirrorPlumber: The go-to utility for handling mirror-related logic and rendering.
If you’ve developed a library that helps other modders, let us know on Discord so we can feature it here!
How to Help
Section titled “How to Help”- Small Tweaks: If you spot a mistake, click the “Edit page” link at the bottom of the screen. This will take you directly to GitHub where you can submit a change in seconds.
