Per-project caches use large amounts of disk space #15

Closed lukebemish closed 10 months ago

lukebemish commented 10 months ago

With old FG, forge and minecraft were cached universally in ~/.gradle/caches. With NG 7, neoforge and MC both are each downloaded and cached per project - that is, the client.jar, server.jar, client extra, neoforged, and neoforged sources are stored in the project-level .gradle cache of every project that uses neogradle. This is a really good way to eat up a ton of disk space, which FG was already bad enough at.

Actually, it's worse than that - there's stuff in build/neoForm that looks pretty big too

Running clean also wipes the cache...

This issue should not be closed. NeoGradle still uses ~450 MiB of disk space per project, which is a definite improvement over the ~1 GiB it used to but is still an absolute ton.
