A small example for getting started with NilLoader.
NilLoader is not a general purpose loader intended to replace Fabric or Forge. If you're here, you should either have a specific use case (e.g. wanting to patch mods on old versions with broken tooling) or just want to mess around with a new toy for the sake of it.
Additionally, NilLoader is currently experimental and API/ABI stability is not yet guaranteed.
If you're okay with that, then cool. Let's continue.
- You must pick a unique nilmod ID and put it in build.gradle. You will then have to rename src/main/resources/modid.nilmod.css to use your ID.
- You need to rename the package from com.example.nilexample to a package you have permission to use; see this wizard for help if you don't know what a good package name is.
- You will probably want to replace LICENSE with something else, unless CC0 Public Domain Dedication is what you want.
NilGradle does not currently (and likely never will) offer a dev environment. In the future, NilLoader may gain the ability to be run a normal game in dev mode and then be attached to an IDE for code hotswap. You will have to restart the game every time you make changes to your mod.
Pass -Pnil.decompile when running your initial Gradle command to generate a
sources jar. You may need to delete build/nil.
NilGradle is very primitive at the moment, and can quite easily get confused.
If things don't make sense, then delete build/nil.
