Motivation
When doing development, it's often beneficial to be able to easily run the server in a development environment (mojmapped everything). This enables features like class/mixin hotswapping.
This pull request implements loading mods and the target game from the classpath, which can be set to contain the mod classes and a mojmap server.
I have done some preliminary testing, and it doesn't seem to break other mod loading options.
Dev Env Setup
With this PR, developers can change the following to set up a sane environment:
Add the following dependencies to the runtime classpath:
For IntelliJ, add an application configuration with:
project-name.main
-Dignite.locator=classpath
space.vectrix.ignite.IgniteBootstrap
-nogui
$PROJECT/run/
Bonus: mixin hotswap works as expected, see the fabric guide
