Hello,

I'm new in creating mods and using intellij idea. I saw a few tutorials about this topic, but if I use a dependency and build mod, the dependency doesn't want to compile into final jar.

 

My build.gradle:

dependencies {
    minecraft 'net.minecraftforge:forge:1.16.3-34.1.0'

    compile 'edu.cmu.sphinx:sphinx4-core:5prealpha-SNAPSHOT'
    compile 'edu.cmu.sphinx:sphinx4-data:5prealpha-SNAPSHOT'
}

 

And my build method:

 

But result is without compiled dependency. Where is a problem?

Thanks for replying.

Libraries dont just automatically get built into the jar of each project that uses them.

That would be an immense waste of space/bandwidth.

Not to mention the potentially legalities of it. 

You wouldn't want to ship all of Minecraft in your Jar just because you use it as a dependency.

However if you DO want to shade a jar in, you can. There are tools such as the shadow plugin for gradle that'll let you choose which libraries to ship.

 

Ok, so what I should do, if I want to use external library, which isn't contains in minecraft (in forge).

Oh sorry, I though if I use gradle shade, I put these jars into my jar but with minecraft.
