A small companion library to Mixin, designed to help you write your Mixins in a more expressive and compatible way.

More information about each feature offered can be found at the Wiki.

For the time being, I recommend depending on this library via JitPack. After adding its repository to your build script, you can depend on it like so

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.LlamaLad7:MixinExtras:0.1.1")
    annotationProcessor("com.github.LlamaLad7:MixinExtras:0.1.1")
}

It is essential that you register MixinExtras as an annotation processor if you want remapping of custom features to work. If you are registering Mixin as an annotation processor too, you must register the MixinExtras annotation processor before the Mixin one.

If you intend to use this library in your mod, you will probably need to bundle it in your jar.

If you are on Fabric, I recommend using the include configuration in your dependencies block.

If you are on another platform, I recommend the Shadow Gradle Plugin. You also need to relocate MixinExtras to avoid conflicts with different versions of the library, and you need to tell the plugin to mergeServiceFiles if you are on Java 9+.

The final step after setting up your build script is to initialize MixinExtras. To do this, simply call

MixinExtrasBootstrap.init();

somewhere suitably early in your program. On Fabric, this would be a PreLaunch entrypoint. If you cannot find a suitable place for your platform, you might like to use an IMixinConfigPlugin . Initializing MixinExtras in your plugin's onLoad method should work fine on any platform (except Fabric loader <= 0.14.10! [1]).

Enjoy using the library, and don't hesitate to open an issue if you have any feedback, questions or suggestions.

[1] FabricLoader had an issue meaning a crash occurred if the very first class loaded on KnotClassLoader was also referenced from a mixin plugin. MixinExtrasBootstrap is frequently the first class loaded there since lots of people initialize it from a preLaunch entrypoint. As such, please do that and do not initialize it from a mixin plugin. This has been resolved in Fabric Loader 0.14.11, but that's not very widely used yet.
