Architectury Loom based template for 1.8.9 kotlin forge mods including OneConfig

Use this repo as a template using the button "Use this template" on the top right of the page.

Once you've cloned this repository, make sure to set the proper JDK version in IntelliJ.

• Gradle JVM (set this to version 17): Ctrl + Alt + S -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle -> Gradle JVM
• Project SDK (set this to version 1.8): Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S -> Project -> Project SDK

Make sure to replace the package names with your own package across all files, and you can start writing your mod.

If you don't want mixins (which allow for modifying vanilla code), then you can remove the references to mixins from the build.gradle.kts, delete the mixins.examplemod.json and the dev.spaghett.mixin package.

Note that Mixins should be kept in their own package, and should exclusively be written in Java, since older versions of Mixin don't play well with Kotlin.

To export your project, run the gradle build task, and give other people the file build/libs/<modid>-<version>-all.jar

If your mod has any dependencies that need to be included in the final JAR file, simply use the shadowImpl configuration in the build.gradle.kts file.

This template is slightly adapted from GitHub/romangraef's template. The changes I've made simply include the following:

• Don't shade the Kotlin standard library into the final JAR
• Don't shade the Mixins library into the final JAR
• Added OneConfig as a dependency

If you don't want to use OneConfig, you might consider using their template instead, as it offers both a Kotlin and Java template (Java also for version 1.12).

This means your mod, based on this template can be licensed whatever way you want, and does not need to reference back to this template in any way.
