Effective Modern CMake

Getting Started

For a brief user-level introduction to CMake, watch C++ Weekly, Episode 78, Intro to CMake by Jason Turner. LLVM’s CMake Primer provides a good high-level introduction to the CMake syntax. Go read it now.

After that, watch Mathieu Ropert’s CppCon 2017 talk Using Modern CMake Patterns to Enforce a Good Modular Design (slides). It provides a thorough explanation of what modern CMake is and why it is so much better than “old school” CMake. The modular design ideas in this talk are based on the book [Large-Scale C++ Software Design](https://www.amazon.de/Large-Scale-Soft

1.8 Rendering Primer by williewillus (formatted to markdown by gigaherz)

Note: This primer assumes you are using MinecraftForge 1.8.9 build 1670 or above. Correctness not guaranteed otherwise. Note 2: This primer is for 1.8.x. Changes in 1.9 are on another gist: https://gist.github.com/williewillus/e37edde85dc78d2e138c

This guide is intended for those with a clear knowledge of general modding and want a quick up to speed on how new things work. If you are confused, please hop on IRC and ask for help!

Blocks and Items

• 1.7: EVERY BLOCK SHAPE EVER was hardcoded into RenderBlocks or your ISBRH. Oh God, just look at that class. Actually don’t, if you value your sanity.
