Distributing mod with extra jars

Posted November 24, 201212 yr

I have a mod that uses some open source libraries packaged as separate jar files. During development I've been adding these to the lib directory. Once added to the eclipse project this works fine.

When I'm ready to distribute my mod where would these jars need to be placed? Will minecraft forge add extra jar files from a standard location, e.g mods/lib or similar?

I couldn't see any documentation on this, so thought I'd ask.

Cheers,

This should go in the Modder Support forum, but I will help anyway.

Poke around with ILibrarySet and RelaunchLibraryManager. Your mod will need to be a so-called "coremod" for this to work (i.e. it implements IFMLLoadingPlugin).

There's an EAQ for a reason. Read it!

Look in our wiki, there's a tutorial written by keepcalm under the intermediate section.

Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE!

This isn't building better software, its trying to grab a place in the commit list of a highly visible github project.

There is? I can't seem to find it, otherwise I would have linked to it.

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
