Fletching Table

Additions and automations for fabric-loom

This project is still experimental, use at your own risk.

Features

Entrypoints

Automatically registers entrypoints into the project's mod json.

Simply annotate a static class, method or field with @Entrypoint and specify the desired entrypoint to register to in its value! Fletching Table will automatically process it and add it to existing entrypoints in fabric.mod.json.

Mixins

Automatically registers mixins into the project's mixin jsons.

Mixin environments can be overridden by annotating the mixin with @MixinEnvironment. You can set mixins to be registered automatically without MixinEnvironment by changing the defaultMixinEnvironment in the settings.

Interface Injections

Registers interface injections automatically on mixins/interfaces annotated with @InterfaceInjection.

By default either the interface or the mixin implementing it have to be annotated with @InterfaceInjection. You can change the default setting to always try to register interface injections in the fletchingTable settings block. The mixin annotation overrides the default setting and the interface's annotation overrides the mixin's setting. Automatic mixins must be turned on to use this feature.

Included Jars

Exposes jars that were included in dependencies with Loom's include configuration.

To use, first add an includedJars closure in your dependencies. Add parent dependencies to extract from using the from configuration. Then, use extracted jars in other configurations by setting the group to includedJars and the name to the name of the extracted jar(without the .jar extension).

As an example, here's how to add Pride Lib inside Lambdynamic Lights from the modrinth maven to the modCompileOnly configuration:

dependencies {
    ..
    includedJars {
        from "maven.modrinth:lambdynamiclights:2.1.0+1.17"
    }
    modCompileOnly "includedJars:pridelib-1.1.0+1.17"
}

Fungible

Adds a shortcut to add Fungible by magistermaks to the development environment.

To use, add fletchingTable.fungible "<RELEASE TAG>" in the dependencies block with the release tag of the version of fungible you want to add.
Example for fungible v1.2 for minecraft 1.19.2:

dependencies {
    ..
    fletchingTable.fungible "1.2+mc1.19.2"
}

Settings

Fletching Table's default settings can be changed in an extension named fletchingTable as follows:

fletchingTable {
    // Enables the entire annotation processor and adds the annotation api to the project's classpath
    enableAnnotationProcessor = true //default
    // Enables injecting processed entrypoint annotations to the mod json
    enableEntrypoints = true //default
    // Enables injecting mixins to the mixin jsons
    enableMixins = true //default
    // Sets the default mixin environment to register mixins into
    defaultMixinEnvironment = "none" //default, can be either "none", "auto", "mixins", "client", "server"
    // Sets the prefix required for mixin targets to set the "auto" environment to "client"
    autoMixinEnvironmentClientPrefix = "net.minecraft.client" //default
    // Sets the prefix required for mixin targets to set the "auto" environment to "server"
    autoMixinEnvironmentServerPrefix = "null" //default
    // Sets the default behavior for interface injections
    enableAutoInterfaceInjections = false //default
}

Setup

Add the plugin by applying it after loom.

    id 'fabric-loom' ...
+   id "io.shcm.shsupercm.fabric.fletchingtable" version "1.6"
}

About Fletching Table

I originally suggested automatic entrypoints to loom but it was denied as it was out of scope. I was told it would make a good library and while I still believe Fabric should have automatic entrypoints by default, I agree that it needs to be a thing regardless.

Someone then told me on the Fabric discord that Fudge already made a library for entrypoint annotations but it turned out to be buggy and hard to fix(why kotlin..). Still, Fudge did a good amount of work that in the end helped me set up Fletching Table so thanks for that.

I also had some more things I wanted out of loom so I figured I might as well make my own plugin.

Why "Fletching Table"? I- Idk.. just wanted something Loom-adjacent and didnt want to call it Smithing Table :p
