Boreal is the low-level follow-up to Canopy. Boreal is designed to use the Endstone plugin API and C++ environment to allow game modifications that are not possible with Minecraft’s official modding API. However, since the official modding API covers most of the same functions that Endstone does, features in Boreal usually require reverse engineering and function hooking to deliver their functionality. The key usage for Endstone in this mod is its ability to include libraries that are not supported within the official modding environment.

Key Problem Solved

• Game Speed Control: Boreal allows Minecraft to be slowed down, stopped, or sped up at will. This is useful for a multitude of reasons. You can think of it like being able to step though your code using your debugger or overclocking to complete a test case more quickly.
