Maven info

Maven artifacts are located here, each folder representing a version.

Note: As of 1.16, intermediate (non-release) Maven builds are no longer persisted. That is, you must either depend on a released version of Patchouli, e.g. 1.16-37 or 1.16-37-FABRIC, or specifically opt in to the bleeding-edge build of the next version. For example, 1.16-38-SNAPSHOT or 1.16-38-FABRIC-SNAPSHOT would be the current bleeding edge version of future version 1.16-38.

Note that -SNAPSHOT versions can be broken from time to time, and you are strongly discouraged from using them unless you are helping dogfood, test, or contribute to Patchouli. They may also be pruned from time to time to save disk space on the server. Do not rely on -SNAPSHOT versions for anything important!

In Fabric, add the following to your build.gradle

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://maven.blamejared.com' }
}

dependencies {
    modImplementation "vazkii.patchouli:Patchouli:[VERSION]"
}

In Forge, use the following:

repositories {
    maven { url 'https://maven.blamejared.com' }
}

dependencies {
    compileOnly fg.deobf("vazkii.patchouli:Patchouli:[VERSION]:api")
    runtimeOnly fg.deobf("vazkii.patchouli:Patchouli:[VERSION]")
}

Note: Any code not located in the package vazkii.patchouli.api is strictly implementation detail, and you should not rely on it as it will change without warning.

Mixin Troubleshooting (Forge only)

Patchouli uses Mixin to implement some of its features. On Forge, the game might crash when trying to launch in-dev, as ForgeGradle does not remap the refmap by itself. This can be worked around by specifying the refmap remapping manually: add these lines to your build.gradle and regenerate your run configurations in the IDE afterwards. MixinGradle applies this fix automatically - if you are using Mixin in your project you shouldn't have to change anything.

License Information

Patchouli's original code and assets are licensed under the CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 Unported license. We recognize that this is not ideal, and are open to changing the licensing of the code in the future.

Please note that this mod uses official Mojang mappings (Mojmap). If you depend on Patchouli as normal, or only consume Patchouli's API, there should be no licensing concerns, as the mod is remapped to Intermediary (or SRG, for Forge) on compile.

There is a license concern, however, if you bundle Patchouli with your mod using Jar-in-Jar. Building a mod which uses Mixin inserts a refmap, which for Patchouli will contain raw Mojang mappings in a JSON file. If this presents a licensing problem to you, then do not bundle Patchouli and just depend on it externally. I recommend using normal dependencies either way, as Jar-in-Jar inflates your archive sizes to store a mod that will probably be in most modpacks anyways.

Developer Info

Repository Layout

From 1.18 onwards, Patchouli is developed with Fabric and Forge in the same branch of the same repository. This is a boon for productivity as most code can be shared without tedious merging of commits back and forth between branches. All code uses Mojang mappings (MojMap).

This scheme is based on the Multi-Loader Template created by @jaredlll08 and @Darkhax. Many thanks to them!

How it works is we have three Gradle subprojects: Common, Forge, and Fabric. Common contains code that is loader-agnostic. In the IDE, we set up this subproject using Sponge's VanillaGradle plugin, which sets up a basic Mojmap-mapped game JAR to aid in auto-complete, etc. while coding. However, this subproject is not actually compiled on its own.

Instead, the loader-specific subprojects Forge and Fabric include the source of Common into their own sources when compiling. The loader-specific subprojects use the native loader's tools (ForgeGradle and Loom, respectively), so in nearly all respects this is the same as copying and pasting the Common code into the loader-specific subproject.

If a loader needs to be temporarily disabled, simply comment it out in settings.gradle.

Making a Release

1. Pull from remote, test all changes, and commit everything.
2. git tag -a release-<VERSION>. All Patchouli versions must follow the version format <MC-VER>-INT, so it'll probably look like git tag -a release-1.17.1-55. You can check which number is the next one by looking at gradle.properties.
3. In the Git editor that pops up, write the changelog. Finish the tag process (usually by saving and closing the editor).
4. Increment the build number in gradle.properties of the next release. Commit this separately.
5. Push: git push origin <branch> --tags
6. Go to Jenkins and wait for the tag you just pushed to be compiled and built
7. Download the Forge and Fabric JARs and submit them to CurseForge
