MultiLoader version

[Skidamek]

Motivation

This template is already pretty impressive, however it would be super cool if we could somehow do forge/fabric/(quilt) version of it on a different branch. That would be amazing to make multi version & loader mods so easily.

Description

I think we can achieve that by using architectury loom instead of fabric one. I think that architectury also support yarn for forge that would be amazing to have same mappings across mod loaders.

I know about essential gradle which does something similar but they somewhy using their own fork outdated version of architectury loom with bugs. Also they for some reason use different mappings between two mod loaders. This would be ultimate Minecraft mod template + implement forgix into it lol amazing...

What are the current known issues with the architectury test branch?

[Fallen-Breath]

I have no idea how exactly the architectury-test branch works, and idk if I can maintain that branch correctly and healthily. There might be some hidden issues introduced by mixing multiple Minecraft versions in a single project that no one knows

There's a time when the mod development refused to launch the forge client / server, displaying java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jdk/nashorn/api/scripting/NashornScriptEngineFactory or other random dependencies being not found, and I have no idea why. It was "fixed?" by randomly reloading the gradle project / running the architectury example mod / launching a production client. I don't know what was happening at all

Also, the architectury-test branch currently does not support the Platform Specific APIs or similiar features from the architectury-plugin. If your codes are very platform-dependent, then writing them with the current template will be a mess

I just stumbled across this. Anyone interested might want to take a look at how I configured Inventorio and/or at https://github.com/tr7zw/ProcessedModTemplate and https://github.com/tr7zw/3d-Skin-Layers
