How to Build Growthcraft

Hello, so you want to build your own copy of Growthcraft on your local machine?

This document is a WIP, and may be riddled with errors.

• Have AT least Java 1.7 installed, Growthcraft WILL NOT BUILD WITH 1.6.
• Use the following commands

# clone the repository if you haven't already
git clone https://github.com/GrowthcraftCE/Growthcraft-1.7.git --recursive
cd Growthcraft-1.7
# if you already had a copy its a good idea to update the git submodules
git submodule update --init
# afterwards you can run gradle, if you have gradle installed on your system:
gradle build
# if you don't:
./gradlew.sh build

This short guide assumes you're familiar with mod development, that way we don't have to explain what ForgeGradle commands to run.

Note The regular build process will ONLY produce complete jars, not the modular versions.

The modular jars are recreated from the complete jar via a ruby script. If you are a good at gradle and would like to fix that, that would be swell and well appreciated.
