1.8.9 Minecraft mod that puts a folower on players head yea
For other templates, do check out the other branches of this repository
To get started, clone this repository.
In build.gradle.kts
, replace the values of baseGroup
and group
with your own names.
In settings.gradle.kts
change rootProject.name
to your desired mod id.
The com.example
package needs to be renamed to match the value of baseGroup
.
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.
This project uses 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 (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.
