For developers

Build Vantage yourself, understand how it is put together, and ship your own.

• Forking

  Taking the code and making it yours.

• Building

  The JDK, the Gradle tasks, and the one flag to remember.

• Architecture

  How the mod is laid out, from the entry point down.

• Writing a feature

  A new feature, from the annotation to the menu.

• Options and config

  Declaring options, and how they are saved.

• HUD elements

  Drawing something the HUD editor can move.

• Commands and keybinds

  Registering a command or a key.

• Multi-version

  One source tree, two Minecraft versions.

• The UI toolkit

  Obsidian Glass: the components and the rules they keep.

• Testing

  The unit tests and the in-game smoke tests.

• Releasing

  Versions, tags, and what a release carries.

• The service

  What runs behind the site and the mod's online features.

• The Stats protocol

  What the mod sends to Vantage Stats, and what it gets back.

  Sending a change back, if you want to.
