[Solved] [1.10.2] How to add an API?

[Erfurt]

Hey guys,

 

I was wondering if some of you know how to add an API like Baubles, to my mod? I have been searching on google, but have only been able to find some old forum post about it, which I found to be a bit confusing.

A link to a 'guide' or some instructions would be very much appreciated

It depends how the API is being provided. If it's plain source, like Baubles or RF API, then you just download their source, extract it and put it into the 'api' module of the project. If it's provided as a library from a repository, like JEI or Refined Storage, then you add appropriate entries to your build.gradle file.

Okay, so just to be sure. I need to put the Baubles API into this folder "my project"\build\sources\api\java, or am I wrong? I really don't want to do something wrong, and screw it up

Ah okay, thanks. Do I need to have the mod, in this case Baubles, installed in my environment, to check if my stuff will work, or should I be able to see all the stuff that bauble adds without doing any other stuff?

 

Also if I was to add a library from a repository, how would I go about adding the appropriate entries to my build.gradle file? Not that I really need to know that right now, but I'd like to know

Yes, you will need to put Baubles into the 'mods' folder, just like in regular environment.

To add a library from repository, you will need to specify the repository url and a dependency. Example for Just Enough Items:

 

repositories{    
    //the repository that contains the libraries
    maven{
        url "http://dvs1.progwml6.com/files/maven"
    }    
}

dependencies{   
    //the dependency
    compile 'mezz.jei:jei_1.10.2:3.14.5.406:api'
}

Ah cool, thanks a lot both of you
