Library managing with MCEdit Filters (Supported after, but not including, version 1.3.1.0)

example_filter.py

# Define the 'libraries' variable just like you would for inputs

# ====Notes====
# * ALWAYS check if the library is available, even if you mark it as '"optional": False'
# * If this ability is abused, it can\will be removed at any of the developers discretion, so please don't abuse it
# * The "path" field starts from a 'lib' subfolder in the 'Filters' directory
# * Keep the libraries small, MCEdit downloads the entire file, not just parts that are used in the filter
# * In reference to the note above, MCEdit downloads the libraries on the main thread, so the entire panel may take awhile to show up
# * These libraries can be other file types too, but you have to parse them and remember Note #3
