mod-loader

Description

Warning: This repository is no longer maintained since modern versions of Mindustry have proper support for mod dependencies.

A simple Mindustry plugin to enable jvm mod/plugin dependencies for V6 and V7 below v136.

To use it, put your mods/plugins in a directory named ./mod-loader instead of ./config/mods (except mod-loader) and enjoy.

Building

• ./gradlew jar for a simple jar that contains only the plugin code.

• ./gradlew shadowJar for a fatJar that contains the plugin and its dependencies (use this for your server).

Testing

• ./gradlew runMindustryClient: Run Mindustry in desktop with the plugin.

• ./gradlew runMindustryServer: Run Mindustry in a server with the plugin.

Nice tips

• Your file tree should look like this

  - config/
    - mods/
      - ModLoaderPlugin.jar
      - ModThatDoesNotHaveDependencies.jar
      - ...
    - ...
  - mod-loader/
    - ModThatHasDependencies.jar
    - DependencyOfTheAboveMod.jar
    - ...
  - server.jar
  - ...
  

• It's perfecly fine to put regular mods in the mod-loader directory.
