Problem with exported Mod

[Paulsen 0]

Hey, I have programmed a little test-mod where i wanted to test the discord-rich-presence-library with minecraft.

First i had problems with declaring the lib in the dependencies, but i finally got it working and no errors appear when testing. But as i exported it via CMD with the "gradlew build" command and tested it with forge it crashes when starting and i always get the same crashlog:crash-2020-10-22_21.25.25-client.txt. I think there is still something wrong with declaring the lib in the dependencies in my build.gradlebuild.gradle file.

Thanks.

Declaring a dependency doesn't pack it into your mod

But how should i pack it into my mod? I already added it to the dependecies, shouldn't that work?

Look into the Gradle plugin called "Shadow"

it says, that it is only for gradle 6.0.0+. I updated it and it still doesn't work. Now it even doesn't work if delete the pluginlines

[DaemonUmbra 534]

It's not only for Gradle 6+, it has older versions for older Gradle

I applied several examples from https://plugins.gradle.org/search?term=shadow that compiled correctly, but none of them worked, i still get the same error. Maybe i imported them wrong. I only added the lines in the build.gradle-file like this: 

plugins {
    id "com.github.johnrengelman.plugin-shadow" version "2.0.3"
}

apply plugin: "com.github.johnrengelman.plugin-shadow"

 

The jar-library btw. is this one: https://github.com/Vatuu/discord-rpc

That applies the plugin. Congratulations, you have not achieved anything.

You need to tell the plugin which jars to actually bundle.

I've been programming java for quite some years and i have never worked with gradle before, and i admit taht most of the time i don't have a clue what i'm doing other than copy paste possible solutions for this problem. I've tried to use the plugin, but it doesn't work and i have still no idea why!

[diesieben07 7597]

Show how you tried to use it.

I added a shadowJar{ } in my build.gradlebuild.gradle. In this Block i sho uld be able to define what my plugin is doing. I think i have to define my classes, as its described in the docs, but the library i importet from github doesn't work with intellij.

1. Including the whole "compile" configuration is not what you want and it's a bad idea. This will include Minecraft, Forge and all it's libraries in your mod jar. Make your own configuration.
2. Did you actually run the shadowJar task?

[Paulsen 0]

Yes I called shadowJar right after i applied the plugin. I also changed the compile to runtime, just like my discord-library in the dependencies. I can defenetly say that something is working because now the built file is smaller than before. But it still doesn't work in Forge sadly.
