Help on adding external library

Started by CapCreeperGR on Sun, 01/24/2021 - 09:40

Hello! I am trying to add the galacticraft api to mcreator and use it to create custom planets and solar systems with custom elements but I am not sure how to do that. I added it in the external APIs tab in workspace settings and it could detect if I had the mod installed or not but the problem is I can not use its code on custom elements. I am pretty sure I need to import its .jar file somehow but I can't find how? Can anyone help me?

Nevermind I found out how to do it. I just added this code

flatDir {
    dirs 'libs'
}

to the repositories in the build.gradle file. Now any library that's in the libs folder will automatically get added

Use gradle to manage libraries, do not manually add them whenever possible.

Hey !
Where is the libs folder ?
I have add the

flatDir {
    dirs 'libs'
}

to my build.gradle repositories

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url = 'https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven' }
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
		flatDir {
			dirs 'libs'
		}
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath group: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle', name: 'ForgeGradle', version: '3.+', changing: true
    }
}

but i didn't find the libs folder what you say.

OK, I found 'libs' folder. But I can't find the context

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url = 'https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven' }
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()

in build.gradle. All I see is

plugins {
   id 'eclipse'
   id 'net.minecraftforge.gradle' version '[6.0.16,6.2)'
}
version = '1.0'
group = 'com.yourname.modid'
archivesBaseName = 'modid'
java.toolchain.languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17)
minecraft {
   mappings channel: 'official', version: '1.20.1'
   accessTransformer = file('src/main/resources/META-INF/accesstransformer.cfg')
   copyIdeResources = true
   runs {
       client {
           workingDirectory project.file('run')
           property 'forge.logging.markers', 'REGISTRIES'
           property 'forge.logging.console.level', 'debug'
           mods {
               examplemod {
                   source sourceSets.main
               }
           }
       }
       server {
           workingDirectory project.file('run')
           property 'forge.logging.markers', 'REGISTRIES'
           property 'forge.logging.console.level', 'debug'
           mods {
               examplemod {
                   source sourceSets.main
               }
           }
       }
   }
}
dependencies {
   minecraft 'net.minecraftforge:forge:1.20.1-47.3.0'
}
tasks.withType(JavaCompile).configureEach {
   options.encoding = 'UTF-8' // Use the UTF-8 charset for Java compilation
}
apply from: 'mcreator.gradle'

IDK what I need to change because I'm afraid of file crash (I haven't got any skill in Java programming, and it's morbid). But I also can't install the lib through the Gradle, and it's more morbid. I will be happy if you'll give me an advice as soon as you can. (If you can reply immediately do it please)
