License

CrafTech is released under the LGPLv3 license, in layman's terms this means:

• You can distribute this mod as you like. (That's a go on modpacks!)
• You can take a look at all the source code, modify it, copy it, whatever, as long as your code based on CrafTech is also licensed under LGPLv3.
• I'm not promising you that the code in CrafTech will work in any intentional way what so ever. (I'll do my best not to crash your client and corupt your worlds though, scout's honor!)

Needless to say I'm no lawyer, if you truely want to understand the rights granted to you by the LGPL license, you should really read it.
No, really.

Working with the code

Compiling

If you for some reason feel inclined to compile the mod on your own, based on the latest source, the following steps should get you through the process:

1. Clone the repository to your computer.
2. Inside the CrafTech folder, execute gradle setupDevWorkspace.
   • This step is not needed if you've followed the instructions for working on the mod.
3. Execute gradle build.
4. Navigate to CrafTech/build/libs.
   • This folder should contain a file CrafTech-[mc version]-[craftech version]-DEV.jar
5. Copy the generated file into your minecraft mods folder - as usual.

Setting up the workspace

If you'd like to play around with CrafTech's code, you'll likely want to set it up in an IDE of your choice. Instructions for getting set up in IDEA and Eclipse can be found below.

1. Download the files in the repository to your local system.
   If you intend on using Eclipse:

   2. Download the apropriate source version of forge (Version can be found by opening build.gradle and looking at the Minecraft vesion number which will be formatted as <minecraft>-<forge>).
   3. Copy the eclipse folder from the forge src, into the CrafTech project.

2. Run the gradle script gradle setupDecompWorkspace <eclipse / idea>.

   • If this gives you issues, try running gradle cleanCache setupDecompWorkspace <eclipse / idea> --refresh-dependencies.

3. Open the generated project.
   With Eclipse:

   • Open the eclipse sub-folder of the project, as your workspace.
   • Example: Your project is located at C:\Projects\CrafTech, open C:\Projects\CrafTech\eclipse as your workspace.

   With IDEA:

   • Select Open Project in the IDEA menu.
   • Navigate to the main folder of your project, IDEA should recognize this as a project (Otherwise select the CrafTech.ipr file specifically).
   • Optional: Run gradle genIntelliJRuns, this will generate Client and Server run configurations.

4. Code!

Notice: This is just one of many ways to set up ForgeGradle, feel free to try anything else you want to, I'm by no means an expert in the system.
