The mod loader used by Argentum.
The tests subproject provides several tasks to test Argentum Loader in various usage scenarios without having to include
it in a Argentum working directory.
The Gradle property test_neoforge_version controls, which Argentum version is used for these tests.
Run the :tests:runProductionClient task to start Argentum Loader in an environment resembling a client launched through the
Vanilla launcher.
Run the :tests:runProductionServer task to start Argentum Loader in an environment resembling a server launched through one of
the Argentum provided startup scripts.
Run the :tests:runClient or :tests:runServer tasks to start Argentum Loader in an environment resembling a mod development
environment.
Responsible for locating potential mod files. Filesystem locations, virtual jars or even full mod-files can be reported to the discovery pipeline for inclusion in the mod loading process. The pipeline also offers a way for locators to add issues (warnings & errors) that will later be shown to the user when mod loading concludes.
Interface: net.neoforged.neoforgespi.locating.IModFileCandidateLocator
Resolved via Java ServiceLoader.
You can construct a basic locator to scan a folder for mods by using IModFileCandidateLocator.forFolder. This can be
useful if your locator generates a folder on-disk and wants to delegate to default behavior for it (For example used
by ServerPackLocator).
Responsible for creating a IModFile for mod file candidates.
The default implementation will resolve the type of the mod file by inspecting the Jar manifest or the mod metadata
file (neoforge.mods.toml) and return an IModFile instance if this succeeds.
Interface: net.neoforged.neoforgespi.locating.IModFileReader
Resolved via Java ServiceLoader.
Mod file instances can be created using the static methods on IModFile.
