Gradle Moddev

This plugin is a settings plugin, meaning it has to be applied in settings.gradle

Main Settings

The main configuration for the settings is done in the moddev block, where modloader subprojects can be enabled as shown below:

moddev {
    enableForge()
    enableNeoForge()
    enableFabric()
    enableQuilt()
}

If you wish to enable all supported modloaders, you can also simply call enableAll() instead of enabling them all manually

Some other setting can be defined here aswell (default values are shown):

moddev {
    ideaExtVersion = "1.1.7"
    quietJavaDoc = true
    rootIsCommon = false
    generateModInfo = true
    javaVersion = 17
}

-ideaExtVersion defines the version of the idea-ext plugin that is required for NeoGradle to function correctly in a multi-project setup
-quietJavaDoc The linter for javadoc in newer java versions is very angry and verbose, this setting supresses the loggin by adding "Xdoclint:none", "-quiet" to the javadoc options
-rootIsCommon If you use this plugin for a multi-loader project (more than 2 loaders enabled), this plugin will also add a common project with just vanilla as its dependency. By default this project is located in the "common" subproject, with the root project being nothing but a shell for its subprojects. Setting this to true will make the root project the common project.
-generateModInfo This plugin has the ability to generate mod descriptors for all loader types. If you with to manually make those you can disable this.
-javaVersion The java version used for all subprojects

Project Settings

Each modloader project (and the common project) can configure mod settings in the modloader block. Settings defined in the common project will be inherited by all modloader-based subprojects.

modloader {
    metadata {
        issues "https://github.com/your/project"
        sources "https://github.com/your/project"
        mod {
            homepage "homepage"
            logo("assets/yourmod/icon.png")
        }
        dependsOn("minecraft") {
            versionRange(">=1.20.4", "<1.21")
        }
    }

    mixin {
        mixinPackage = "your.common.mixin.root.package"
        clientMixins = ["YourCommonClientMixin"]
    }
}
