TOML File question about ${}

[American2050]

So I'm slowly getting back into modding for 1.14.4 and of course, a lot of things have changed and I have many questions for sure and will have even more.

 

This is a simple one to get more information about the TOML file. We can read on it:

 

# The version number of the mod - there's a few well known ${} variables useable here or just hardcode it
version="${file.jarVersion}" #mandatory

 

What are and where can I find the "well known" ${} variables.

 

And what would be the best way to not hardcode that value but be able to read it from one of the .java files in my mod structure?

Is it common that when running from within IntelliJ it just comes as "NONE" I assume it's because we don't have a jar file yet.

 

But on my mods.toml file I have

version="${file.jarVersion}"

 

and on build.gradle I have this

 

version = '1.0'
group = 'mramericanmike.terracottaworld' // http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-naming-conventions.html
archivesBaseName = 'TerracottaWorld'

jar {
    manifest {
        attributes([
            "Specification-Title": "terracottaworld",
            "Specification-Vendor": "mramericanmike",
            "Specification-Version": "1", // We are version 1 of ourselves
            "Implementation-Title": project.name,
            "Implementation-Version": "${version}",
            "Implementation-Vendor" :"mramericanmike",
            "Implementation-Timestamp": new Date().format("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ")
        ])
    }
}

 

I think it should be good to work like that right? I'm not taking the value from a java file, but at least it will update when I change it for the build.

I use the processResources block to substitute in my version.

Another way to do this without using "${}" is to replace the implementation version with:

"Implementation-Version": project.version,
