Note: this is still under heavy development and everything is subject to change! Also, feedback is very much appreciated. A good place to send them is our mailing list at https://groups.google.com/group/easyforger

EasyForger is a DSL to help you write MinecraftForge mods for Minecraft (obviously =p)

To run the project, follow these steps:

• clone the repository
• setup your gradle environment with this command: ./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
• you can make sure everything is really working with ./gradlew runClient - this should launch minecraft with your mods
• import the project into your IDE
• for IDEA, after importing, run this command: ./gradlew genIntellijruns
• run Minecraft Client from your IDE menu (which is generated in the command above)

For detailed information have a look at the Minecraft Forge documentation here: http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Installation/Source

Also, please keep in mind that EasyForger uses Scala, so you should have your IDE's Scala plugin installed.

Running in "semi" offline mode

To run EasyForger (MinecraftForge, really) without internet is not possible, but we can minimize access to the network using a nexus repository. Start by looking at this tutorial here, to setup nexus: http://www.sonatype.org/nexus/2015/02/17/improved-minecraft-forge-modding-with-nexus/

Then, to run the project, use the init.gradle file inside the nexed folder instead of the original one mentioned in the tutorial. I suggest the following:

./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace -g nexed

By doing this, you don't need to put init.gradle in you local .gradle, which keeps your environment clean. After that, everything will be cached in nexus - except the files downloaded from minecraftforge.net, which can't be cached (I don't know why).

Publishing tasks:

• bintrayUpload (cut a version and upload it to bintray)

To effectively release a version, change dryRun to false in the build.gradle file.

--

Steps to close a version (personal reminder until it gets automated)

• change version config to final
• commit
• bintrayUpload (with dryRun = false)
• create github tag for the version
• close the milestone on github
• change version config to next snapshot
• commit
• send announcements to twiiter, the mailing list and the forums at forum.easyforger.com
