LegacyMinecraftModTemplate

A maintained Forge 1.8.9 mod template based on hannibal002's template, with Kotlin, Mixin, MoulConfig, and reusable configuration utilities.

Use the template

Create a repository with GitHub's Use this template button. The Initialize Template Repo workflow derives a Java-safe package, project class, and mod id from the new repository name.

For local initialization:

./make-my-own.sh <new-package-name> <project-class-name> <modid> <owner>

The initialization script rewrites the package and metadata, moves Java and Kotlin sources, renames the main class and Mixin configuration, and removes its one-shot scaffolding.

Build

Run Gradle with Java 21 or newer:

./gradlew --no-daemon build

The build uses Gradle 9.3.1 and Essential Loom 1.15.50, while the produced Forge 1.8.9 mod remains Java 8 compatible.
