Project Structure

All ViaForge versions from Minecraft version 1.12.2 onwards are on the master branch.
The names of the submodules indicate the version, they are always given in the format mc-<version name without .>.
Minecraft 1.12.2 - viaforge-mc1122
Minecraft 1.16.5 - viaforge-mc1165
Minecraft 1.17.1 - viaforge-mc1171
Minecraft 1.18.2 - viaforge-mc1182
Minecraft 1.19.4 - viaforge-mc1194
Minecraft 1.20.4 - viaforge-mc1204

ViaForge for Minecraft 1.8

Since ForgeGradle for Minecraft 1.8.9 is too old, it has its own branch called legacy-1.8

I want ViaForge in my own utility mod

Just take a look at my other Project called ViaMCP: https://github.com/FlorianMichael/ViaMCP
