This repo was created with the goal of making a build script general enough and feature-rich enough so that any Minecraft 1.12.2 mod could adapt to it and not only work without issues, but gain many new features as well as receive technical support and updates if any problems are encountered using Gradle.
This build script was heavily inspired by the build script created by GT New Horizons for 1.7.10 mods, which can be found here. Much of the credit goes to them, as this script shares many similarities to theirs.
javaxAnd many more to come! And of course, all of these features are toggleable via an option in gradle.properties.

Currently, you will have to move your Mixin config options to this newly generated file.

It is currently not versioned, so it is safe to add to, though should not have things removed from it
Any of these files can optionally be either .gradle (Groovy), or .gradle.kts (Kotlin DSL).
dependencies.gradle[.kts]: Add your mod's dependencies here. This is separate from the main build script so that you can replace build.gradle if an update is availablerepositories.gradle[.kts]: Add your dependencies' repositories here. Many common ones are already handled by build.gradleaddon.gradle[.kts]: An optional file, which can be used if you have any more advanced gradle commands. However, we are open to new features, so let us know if there is something you want that we could add to this build script to avoid needing this file!./gradlew updateBuildScript
