Baldur's Gate 3 Community Library exists to provide a common collection of Spells, Scripts, Items, Statuses, Passives, and other useful material that will assist modders in creating new content.
Note that some of this information may be out of date - we're working on cleaning off the cobwebs as we raise the project back from the dead.
In addition to the stated purpose of this mod, feel free to use the contents of this mod as examples of how to create certain content for Baldur's Gate 3 if you wish. See here to find out how to use the library's content in your own mods!
You're welcome to submit pieces of your mod that you think would be useful for others to use in their mods as well, be it scripts, spells, statuses, passives, models, textures, sounds, etc.
Some mods will rely on this one, and require it as a dependency, as it provides the content it contains.
It also acts as a compatibility patch for an ever-growing list of subclass mods. You can see a list of subclasses supported here
