Developing an Addon - Randores/Randores2 GitHub Wiki

Just a quick note: on any addon development tutorial page, you can scroll all the way to the bottom to reach the next and/or previous topics

Introduction

Before you start developing a Randores addon, understand this: this tutorial is neither a Java tutorial nor a Modding tutorial. If you do not know Java, or you don't know how to Mod with forge, you'd best learn that first. Furthermore, you should at least skim the How it Works page, which gives a quick summary of how Randores functions, before continuing below.

Getting Started

The first step is to setup your development environment for forge modding. For that, check out the Forge getting started guide. After that, you need to include Randores in your project, which can be done through your build.gradle. Simply include the following in your build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        url "http://dl.bintray.com/meguy26/maven"
    }
}

dependencies {
    //Compile against the deobfuscated version of Randores, but don't use it at runtime
    compileOnly "com.gmail.socraticphoenix:Randores:${randoresVersion}:dev"
    //Use the full, obfuscated, version of Randores at runtime
    runtime "com.gmail.socraticphoenix:Randores:${randoresVersion}:shadow"
}

Note: the default forge build.gradle already includes a dependencies block, but you will have to add the repositories block directly above it.

In the above example, you can either replace ${randoresVersion} with the version of Randores you want to use, or create a property in your gradle.properties file, which would look something like this:

randoresVersion=2a1

Note: 2a1 is Randores 2, Alpha 1, and is the very first release

You can browse available versions either on the CurseForge page or in the Maven repository.

Note: Versions 1.x do not support addons and are not available in the Maven repository
