Installation information

This template repository can be directly cloned to get you started with a new mod. Simply create a new repository cloned from this one, by following the instructions at github.

Once you have your clone, simply open the repository in the IDE of your choice. The usual recommendation for an IDE is either IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse.

Note: For IDEs other than Intellij IDEA, you must run the ideBeforeRun task first from the terminal (such as ./gradlew ideBeforeRun) for the run configs to work.

If at any point you are missing libraries in your IDE, or you've run into problems you can run gradlew --refresh-dependencies to refresh the local cache. gradlew clean to reset everything {this does not affect your code} and then start the process again.

Mapping Names:

By default, the MDK is configured to use the official mapping names from Mojang for methods and fields in the Minecraft codebase. These names are covered by a specific license. All modders should be aware of this license. For the latest license text, refer to the mapping file itself, or the reference copy here: https://github.com/NeoForged/NeoForm/blob/main/Mojang.md
