Quickstart

Quickstart​

Use the Stonecraft template​

The simplest way to get started with a brand new mod project is to use the Stonecraft template.

Simply go to https://github.com/meza/Stonecraft-template and click the "Use this template" button.

Add the plugin to build.gradle[.kts]​

If you already use Architectury, make sure to add Stonecraft BEFORE the Architectury plugin.

// build.gradle.kts
plugins {
   id("gg.meza.stonecraft")
}

Set up Stonecutter​

Setting up supported version​

Create a settings.gradle[.kts] file in your project root with the following content:

This is still boilerplate, and I'm working on making it more user-friendly.

settings.gradle.kts

pluginManagement {
  repositories {
      mavenCentral()
      gradlePluginPortal()
      maven("https://maven.kikugie.dev/releases")
      maven("https://maven.kikugie.dev/snapshots")
      maven("https://maven.fabricmc.net/")
      maven("https://maven.architectury.dev")
      maven("https://maven.minecraftforge.net")
      maven("https://maven.neoforged.net/releases/")
  }
}
plugins {
  id("gg.meza.stonecraft") version "1.+"
  id("dev.kikugie.stonecutter") version "0.6+"
}

stonecutter {
  centralScript = "build.gradle.kts"
  kotlinController = true
  shared {
      fun mc(version: String, vararg loaders: String) {
          // Make the relevant version directories named "1.20.2-fabric", "1.20.2-forge", etc.
          for (it in loaders) vers("$version-$it", version)
      }

      mc("1.21.3", "fabric", "forge", "neoforge")
      mc("1.21.4", "fabric", "forge", "neoforge")

  }
  create(rootProject)
}

rootProject.name = "YourModName"

Creating your dependency files​

In order to manage different dependencies for different versions of Minecraft, you need to create a separate file for each version.

These need to be placed in the versions/dependencies directory.

  • versions/dependencies/1.21.3.properties
  • versions/dependencies/1.21.4.properties

These would be the equivalent of the more traditional gradle.properties file for each version.

warning

The name of the files is important. These needs to be the same as the versions you specified in the settings.gradle.kts file.

Setting up the stonecutter​

Create a stonecutter.gradle[.kts] file in your project root with the following content:

// stonecutter.gradle.kts
plugins {
    id("dev.kikugie.stonecutter")
    id("gg.meza.stonecraft")
}

stonecutter active "1.21.4-fabric" /* [SC] DO NOT EDIT */
