Meteor Addon Template

A template to allow easy usage of the Meteor Addon API.

How to use

Use GitHub Template (Recommended)

• Click the green Use this template button in the top right corner of this page.
  This will create a new repository with this template and a clean history.

Clone Manually

• Alternatively, clone this repository using these commands for a clean history:

  git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MeteorDevelopment/meteor-addon-template your-addon-name
  cd your-addon-name
  rm -rf .git
  git init
  git add .
  git commit -m "Initial commit from template"

Development

• Use this template to add custom modules, commands, HUDs, and other features to Meteor Client.
• To test, run the Minecraft Client configuration in your IDE. This will start a Minecraft client with the Meteor Client mod and your addon loaded.
• To build, run the gradle build task. This will create a JAR file in the build/libs folder.
  • Move the JAR file to the mods folder of your Minecraft installation, alongside the Meteor Client mod and run the game.

Updating to newer Minecraft versions

To update this template to a newer Minecraft version, follow these steps:

1. Ensure a Meteor Client snapshot is available for the new Minecraft version.
2. Update gradle.properties:
   • Set minecraft_version, yarn_mappings and loader_version to the new version.
   • Update any additional dependencies accordingly.
3. Update Loom:
   • Change the loom_version in build.gradle.kts to the latest version compatible with the new Minecraft version.
4. Update the Gradle wrapper:
   • You can find the latest Gradle version here.
   • Run the ./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version <version>; ./gradlew wrapper command to update the wrapper script.
5. Update your source code:
   • Adjust for Minecraft or Yarn mapping changes: method names, imports, mixins, etc.
   • Check for Meteor Client API changes that may affect your addon by comparing against the master branch.
6. Build and test:
   • Run the gradle build task.
   • Confirm the build succeeds and your addon works with the new Minecraft version.
