Dynamic Registries

# dynamic registries Dynamic registries is a library mod that allows the creation of new data-pack based registries. It's **possible** to define elements in code and trough data-packs (even the data-pack in your mod), but not necessary; you can also create elements only in code **or** in data-packs. Elements that were defined in code can also be overwritten from data-packs. Elements must be encoded in JSON. This library is based on the changes introduced in (https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/pull/8263). This PR probably isn't going to be merged before 1.18.2 gets released, but I needed this feature already for 1.18.1, so I wrote this mod. There won't be versions of this library for other Minecraft version for this reason. ### How to add this library to your mods dependencies To add the library to your gradle setup, add modrinth to your dependency repositories. ``` repositories { maven { name = "Modrinth" url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven" content { includeGroup "maven.modrinth" } } } ``` Add the above codeblock to your build.gradle above your dependencies block (the order doesn't matter that strong, but lets assume that you've placed it there to simplify things a bit). If you already had a ```repositories``` block, only append the ```maven``` block to it. We now define the dependency itself. Add the line below to your dependencies block in your build.gradle. Version `0.1.0` was the latest at time of writing. Replace that with the latest currently available version. ``` implementation fg.deobf("maven.modrinth:dynamicregistries:0.1.0") ``` You can now refresh your gradle project to download the dependencies and re-run IDE setup tasks (`genIntellijRuns`, `genEclipseRuns` or `genVSCodeRuns`) You can now use dynamic registries in your development setup, but you should make the forge mod-loader check for it's dependencies when loading. That requires changes in your mods.toml (in `src/main/resources/META-INF`). Add the following block at the end of the file ``` ] modId = "dynamicregistries" mandatory = true versionRange = "(https://www.flaticon.com/free-icons/bookshelf)
