How to properly release an API?

Tavi007 · March 2, 2021

Hey!

I don't know, if this is the right place to ask the questions, but I don't know any better. So please bear with me
I recently split my mod into 2 parts, one of which is basically a library, that includes all the functionality and an API. The other mod is my personal playground, that uses the former mod. I want other people be able to use the API without necessarily have to include my other playground mod (cause it's not really balanced, nor does it look pretty currently...).

I want to realese my API in the same way as other mods do it, so a dev can easily include the right jar into their project using the gradle.build file (mods like curios and hwyla do it this way). I know that I need a remote repository, where the files are located, but I don't know, how I could setup one up. Is it possible to use curseforge for this? If so, how?

Also I've tried to add to the API jar (which I build using 'gradlew build') manually to the playground mod by configuring the build path of my project in eclipse. This did kinda work, because I could call any method from this jar and the mod could also be build. However on startup the API mod runs into an error, that it didn't had previously and I don't understand why this happens. Here is the error log:

edit:
I forgot my repositories:
https://github.com/Tavi007/ElementalCombat <- this has the API
https://github.com/Tavi007/ElementalCombat-Weaponry <- this is the playground

Bump

let me summarize my questions:
1. What do I need to do, so that my mod can be added to any project using build.gradle?
2. Why does my second mod crash, when I add the compiled jar from my first mod manually to the project?
