# Example Mod

Template for making Babric mods for BTA!

## Prerequisites
- JDK for Java 17 ([Eclipse Temurin](https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/) recommended)
- IntelliJ IDEA
- Minecraft Development plugin (Optional, but highly recommended)

## Setup instructions

1. Click the `Use this template` button on this repo's page above. Choose `Create a new respository`, you will be redirected to a new page. Enter your repo's name and description, and hit `Create repository`.  
   To get your project, open IntelliJ and click `Get from VCS`. Select `Repository URL` and enter your repo's url

2. After the project has finished importing, close it and open it again.  
   If that does not work, open the right sidebar with `Gradle` on it, open `Tasks` > `fabric` and run `ideaSyncTask`.

3. Create a new run configuration by going in `Run > Edit Configurations`.  
   Then click on the plus icon and select Gradle. In the `Tasks and Arguments` field enter `build`.  
   Running it will build your finished jar files and put them in `build/libs/`.

4. While in the same place, select the Client and Server run configurations and edit the VM options under the SDK selection.

   Click the double arrow icon to expand the list, and append `-Dfabric.gameVersion=1.7.7.0` to the end.

5. Lastly, open `File` > `Settings` and head to `Build, Execution, Development` > `Build Tools` > `Gradle`.  
   Make sure `Build and run using` and `Run tests using` is set to `Gradle`.

6. Done! Now, all that's left is to change every mention of `examplemod` and `turniplabs` to your own mod id and mod group, respectively. Happy modding!
