**For other templates, do check out the [other branches of this repository](https://github.com/romangraef/Forge1.8.9Template/branches/all)**

## Usage

Check out https://moddev.nea.moe/ for a full tutorial on legacy modding.

Alternatively, read here for a basic overview on how to use this repository.

To get started, [Use this template](https://github.com/new?template_name=Forge1.8.9Template&template_owner=nea89o).

> [!WARNING]
> Do not Fork or Clone or Download ZIP this template. If you "use" this template a custom mod id will be generated. You can do that manually using the `make-my-own` script, if you are on linux. If not, just click the use this template button. If you want to use kotlin or make a 1.12 mod check the "Include all branches" and change the default branch in https://github.com/yourname/yourreponame/branches

Please note that Mixins should be kept in their own package, and should exclusively be written in Java, since older versions
of Mixin don't play well with Kotlin.

This project uses [DevAuth](https://github.com/DJtheRedstoner/DevAuth) per default, so you can log in using your real
minecraft account. If you don't need that, you can remove it from the buildscript.

To run the mod you will need two JDKs, one Java 17 jdk and one Java 1.8 jdk. You can download those
from [here](https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases) (or use your own downloads).

When you import your project into IntelliJ, you need to set the gradle jvm to the Java 17 JDK in the gradle tab, and the
Project SDK to the Java 1.8 JDK. Then click on the sync button in IntelliJ, and it should create a run task
called `Minecraft Client`. If it doesn't then try relaunching your IntelliJ. **Warning for Mac users**: You might have to remove the `-XStartOnFirstThread` vm argument from your run configuration. In the future, that should be handled by the plugin, but for now you'll probably have to do that manually.

To export your project, run the `gradle build` task, and give other people the
file `build/libs/<modid>-<version>.jar`. Ignore the jars in the `build/badjars` folder. Those are intermediary jars that
are used by the build system but *do not work* in a normal forge installation.

If you don't want mixins (which allow for modifying vanilla code), then you can remove the references to mixins from
the `build.gradle.kts` at the lines specified with comments and the `com.example.mixin` package.

If you don't want access transformers (which allow for making methods public/non-final) you can delete the
`accesstransformer.cfg` file. If you make a change to the `accesstransformers.cfg` you might need to rebuild your
project using `./gradlew build --refresh-dependencies`.
