Quilt Template Mod

My personalized Quilt template Mod. You can use it as a template for your own mods!

Differences from the Official Mod

  • Added a build github action
  • Added gametest support (See [Gametest Support](./README.md#Gametest Support))

Usage

In order to use this mod as a template:

  1. Create a new repository from this template with Use this template
  2. Clone the recently-created repo on your PC
  3. Make the necessary changes in order to make it yours:
    • Update gradle.properties in order to use your Maven group and mod ID
      • If you don't know which Maven group to use, and you are planning to host the mod's source code on GitHub, use io.github.<Your_Username_Here>
    • Update quilt.mod.json in src/main/resources in order to reflect your mod's metadata
      • If you are planning to include (jar-in-jar) a mod, don't forget to declare its dependency on it!
      • The icon provided here is a placeholder one. If you aren't able to replace it yet, you can delete it and remove the "icon" property
    • Create a LICENSE file for this mod! If you don't know which license to use, check out here.
      • In quilt.mod.json, don't forget to put the license's SPDX identifier under the "license" property in "metadata".
      • The GPLv3 and AGPLv3 are not valid mod licenses, so you can use almost any license except for those.
    • Update the Java sub-directory structure so it reflects your Maven group
    • If the dependencies on gradle/libs.versions.toml isn't up-to-date, feel free to update them! The linked utility should help you in this easy and quick process.
  4. The mod is now ready to be worked on!

Gametest Support

  1. Update quilt.mod.json in src/gametest/resources and the rest of the naming in order to reflect your testmod's metadata

⚠️ WARNING

make sure to change the dependency on example_mod to your modid and to not reuse the modid of your main project, e.g. suffix your project's modid with _test

  1. Now testing should be available using the test gradle task
