Minecraft version: 1.18.2

Forge version: 40.1.29

I want to connect to database with my minecraft mod, in the Internet I found solution to add lib MySQL connector/J and Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver"); line, but i get java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver. How can i import MySQL connector/J into my mod?

 

I dont know how to do it in forgeGradle, i dont find any docs or examples. Can you tell me how to do it pls?

Working example

plugins {
   //......
}


version = '1.0'
group = 'com.bodryak.gmod' 
archivesBaseName = 'gmodmod'


jarJar.enable()

tasks.jarJar.configure { }

minecraft {.....}

dependencies {
    minecraft 'net.minecraftforge:forge:1.19.2-43.2.3'
    implementation group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '8.0.33'
    jarJar(group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '[8.0.26,8.0.33)'){
        jarJar.pin(it, "8.0.33")
    }
}

inser :

 

jarJar.enable()

tasks.jarJar.configure { }

before minecraf{ }

and

    implementation group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '8.0.33'
    jarJar(group: 'mysql', name: 'mysql-connector-java', version: '[8.0.26,8.0.33)'){
        jarJar.pin(it, "8.0.33")
    }

in dependencies

and after compilation the connector will be embroidered into the jar

 

in order for the connector to work in the test environment during runtime, you need

edit file runClient_minecraftClasspath

insert full path to mysql connector in the first line

after that mysql connector will run with the client

if that doesn't work, you'll need to deep tune the programming environment, but the point remains the same: you'll need to configure the launch options for the client along with the MSCL library

I myself spent a lot of time before I managed to do this
