Shading is the concept of packing external dependencies inside your jar so that they exist in production.
Without this, using external libraries would produce ClassNotFoundExceptions when you run your mod jar outside of an IDE.
This guide explains how to setup shading through Gradle.
This guide assumes that:
| // thanks to gigaherz for pointing me in the right directions on the buildscript | |
| // The shadow gradle plugin assists with repackaging a 3rd-party library jar within your own jar | |
| // In addition to ensuring that your end-users have the library available when they use your own thing, | |
| // it also helps avoid collisions with other things that are also using the same library. | |
| // As always, make sure the license of the library allows redistribution and is compatible with | |
| // your own thing's license before redistributing it in this manner | |
