FE developer information

The information here is mainly for developers.

Setting up the API

Development builds of FE are on the MinecraftForge repository. To use them during development, add / append the following options to your build.gradle:

repositories {
        maven {
            name = "forge"
            url = "http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven"
        }
        maven {
		name = "sk89q"
		url = "http://maven.sk89q.com/repo/"
	}
	maven {
		name = "sponge"
		url = "http://repo.spongepowered.org/maven/"
	}
}

dependencies {
	compile group: "com.forgeessentials", name: "forgeessentials", version: "1.4.4-SNAPSHOT", classifier: "dev", changing: true
}

To allow all features of FE to work correctly, you will also need to add --tweakClass com.forgeessentials.core.preloader.FELaunchHandler --mixin mixins.forgeessentials.json to the launch arugments.

Using the API

Use com.forgeessentials.api.APIRegistry as the main entry point to FE functions.

If you're using 1.3.0.2 or the 1.7.10 versions please use net.minecraftforge.permission.PermissionManager.registerPermission. More information can be found in the javadocs you can view when developing with FE in your IDE.
