[1.7.10] Adding external Libraries (libs folder or something)

[seppitm]

Hello,

is there a way to add new libarys to the libs folder of minecraft and make forge to load them?

I want to use a mysql Connector on the serverside of my mod. I know that Grandle can include the lib in my mod, but i don't want to conflict with other mods who also include the mysql into the jar.

 

when i'm placing the jar in the libs folder of minecraft, it's not going to be loaded. What is the best way to include the mysql connector?

I think I know what you mean.

 

right click on minecraft (as java project).

choose the option "properties".

choose "java build path".

choose "libraries".

than use "add external jar".

 

I hope this is what you mean.

Nope. not in eclipse, i mean later when forge runs.

I believe if you have added an external jar and that jar is in the mods folder too,

it can use the libraries of that mod.

Is that what you mean?

I personally suggest making it a coremod, it seems to agree with most of the criteria that would make up a coremod.

Have a look into that.
