Development Workspace Setup

It is suggested to keep NOVA development in it’s own folder, an example file structure would be something like this:

NOVA
|-- core
|-- gui
...

Important: NOVA uses Gradle for building. To help with using Gradle, NOVA uses the Gradle wrapper system so that the developer does not have to install Gradle. For that reason, if you do not have Gradle installed, instead of typing gradle type:

• gradlew on Windows,
• ./gradlew on Linux or OS X.

NOVA Core

Setting up a NOVA Core development workspace is easy, here’s how you do it:

1. Clone NOVA-Core.
2. Run gradle setupDecompWorkspace idea if you use IntelliJ IDEA or gradle setupDecompWorkspace eclipse if you use Eclipse.
3. Append -Dfml.coreMods.load=nova.core.wrapper.mc.forge.v1_11.NovaMinecraftCore for MC v1.11, -Dfml.coreMods.load=nova.core.wrapper.mc.forge.v18.NovaMinecraftCore for MC v1.8 or -Dfml.coreMods.load=nova.core.wrapper.mc.forge.v17.NovaMinecraftCore for MC v1.7 to the VM arguments of your run configurations.
