# Contributing
We recommend the use of an IDE, specifically [IntelliJ IDEA](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/). This guide will be based on IntelliJ and might be slightly different for other IDE's.

### Prerequisites
- A Java 17 or up JDK.
- A Java 8 JDK.

### Setting up your IDE

#### IntelliJ IDEA:
Your Project JDK should be set to Java 8, to do this in IntelliJ go to `File > Project Structure` and set `SDK` to your Java 8 JDK.

Your Gradle JDK should be set to Java 17 or up, to do this in Intellij go to `File > Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle` and set `Gradle JVM` to a Java 17 JDK.

You might have to reload your Gradle project, to do this click Gradle in the top right and then click the reload button.

Now in the Gradle tab under the `loom` you should run the `setupGradle` task and then under the `ide` tab you should run the `genIntellijRuns` task.
This will allow you to run Minecraft with your ide and use the debugger. 
To login in to your Minecraft account while in your development enviroment, we recommend the use of [DevAuth](https://github.com/DJtheRedstoner/DevAuth)
