How to make my mod load before/after another mod?

[Meegoo]

To remove recipes from mods, my mod has to load after them. Is there any way I can do so without having to use FMLPostInitializationEvent and without making that mod hard dependency?

[Choonster]

In the

dependencies

field of your

@Mod

annotation, you can list dependencies as

before

/

after

(optional dependency) or

required-before

/

required-after

(required dependency).

[Meegoo]

So I can do it like this?

dependencies="after:BuildCraft|Transport"

That needs to be documented

[Choonster]

Yes, that will work.

 

The doc comment of the

@Mod

annotation does show a brief example using required-after, but doesn't specify the exact format of the dependencies string (the field's doc comment references ModLoader's "priorities" string, so it probably hasn't been updated in a few years).
