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. + +### For those who have not an attention span + +[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWzHlomdCgc) + +## Licensing + +This template is licensed under the Unlicense (license copy present in this repository), or alternatively under [Creative Commons 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/), and all contributions and PR to this template are expected to follow this.
