This repository contains the implementation of the Hypixel Mod API for the Forge Mod Loader in 1.8.9 for end-users. If you are a developer, and are looking to utilise the API you should look at the core Hypixel Mod API repository.

Add the Hypixel Maven repository to your build:

repositories {
    maven("https://repo.hypixel.net/repository/Hypixel/")
}

Then depend on the Forge Mod API. This will automatically pull in dependencies too.

val version = "1.0.1.1"
dependencies {
    modImplementation("net.hypixel:mod-api-forge:$version")
    // If you use ForgeGradle 2 you might need to use fg.deobf or deobfCompile instead. Consult your MDK for tips on how
    // to depend on an obfuscated dependency
}

From here on out you can use the Hypixel Mod API directly.

When using the Hypixel Mod API you need to instruct your users to download the mod api and put it in their mods folders.

Alternatively you can bundle a loading tweaker instead. This involves a bit more setup, but will result in your mod containing a copy of the mod api and at runtime selecting the newest available version of the mod api.

First you need to have a shadow plugin in your gradle setup. Note that normal fileTree based JAR copying does not work, since we will need to relocate some files. Instead, use the shadow plugin or make use of a template with the plugin already set up.

Once you have your shadow plugin set up you will need to include a new dependency:

dependencies {
    modImplementation("net.hypixel:mod-api-forge:$version") // You should already have this dependency from earlier
    shadowImpl("net.hypixel:mod-api-forge-tweaker:$version") // You need to add this dependency
}

Make sure to relocate the net.hypixel.modapi.tweaker package to a unique location such as my.modid.modapitweaker.

Finally, add a manifest entry to your JAR pointing the TweakClass to my.modid.modapitweaker.HypixelModAPITweaker (or otherwise load the tweaker using delegation).

tasks.shadowJar {
	configurations = listOf(shadowImpl)
    relocate("net.hypixel.modapi.tweaker", "my.modid.modapitweaker.HypixelModAPITweaker")
}

tasks.withType(org.gradle.jvm.tasks.Jar::class) {
	manifest.attributes.run {
		this["TweakClass"] = "my.modid.modapitweaker.HypixelModAPITweaker"
	}
}

Now your users will automatically use the bundled version of the mod api.

If you wish to contribute to this implementation of the Mod API to offer improvements or fixes, you can do so by forking the repository and creating a pull request.

If IntelliJ still shows unknown symbol errors after running the command, you may need to clear the filesystem cache.
