Creating a library mod along with my main mod

[NovaViper]

Your Forge workspace works with these files in subfolders?

[Draco18s]

I never tried to put them inside my resources directory.

[NovaViper]

Oh.. How did you manage to have Forge read the files inside when running the mods?

[Draco18s]

I don't?

 

Seriously, inside Eclipse, I don't worry about it.

Oh.. I was trying to make everything as simple as possible when it comes to compiling everything

[Draco18s]

Compiled things work just fine.

I just thought of idea that would (theoretically) work better for me. I was doing some searching and saw that it is possible to make Multiproject workspaces with Minecraft Forge and Eclipse. The reason why I thought of this way because I want to separate the Github repos for each of these projects (TerrakonCraft goes in the TerrakonCraft repo, and EclipseCore goes into the EclipseCore repo) and I go push each changes to these projects to their respective repos. With this also, it would make simply compiling these mods.

 

I do however, have one question about this method, is it possible to pull classes from these mods? (I.e. import a registry class from EclipseCore in order to register an entity to TerrakonCraft)

Ah, yes, you can do it that way too.

I did things the way I did things because it worked for me. I wanted to treat my codebase as "one mod" as they were all related to each other, but distribute as separate mods, so people could pick and choose.

You should be able to, but I don't know how.

Hm.. I watched the end of @LexManos's video and he did say it is possible to have both mods running at the same time (and have them compile seperately) but he would show it in another tutorial.. which hasn't been made unfortunately. He also said that when doing so, you have to tell gradle that ModA (TerrakonCraft) depends on ModB(EclipseCore)...now how would I be able to do that is the question now.
