Run Mod / Plugin From Command Line

Plugins Plugin Development
1

I know that it’s possible in Forge to specify a mod classname within the classpath, but I can’t seem to remember / find how to do it. How would I do it? I need to in order to test a plugin I’m developing.

Forge automatically searches the entire classpath. Just set up your build.gradle as usual for a Forge mod, then add compile 'org.spongepowered:spongeapi:VERSION' and deobfProvided 'org.spongepowered:spongeforge:VERSION' to your dependencies and the Sponge and Forge Maven repositories to your repositories.

I’ve just finished doing that and when I run the client or the server, Forge does not detect Sponge, despite it detecting my other dependencies.

dependencies {
    compile "org.spongepowered:spongeapi:4.1.0"    // This is not loaded in by FML
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: "**.jar")    // These mods get loaded in
}

It doesn’t load SpongeApi as a mod because it isn’t a mod. You need SpongeForge instead.

Thanks. It worked.
