Learn how to depend on Controlify.

Adding Controlify to your gradle project

Recent versions of Controlify are available on Maven Central. Versions older than 2.5.1 are available through https://maven.isxander.dev/releases/.

The artifact you need to depend on is dev.isxander:controlify. An example of a version would be 3.0.0+1.21.11-fabric.

Depend on Controlify like you would any other mod.

Adding dependency to your mod manifest

Because it is likely your mod should not have a hard dependency on Controlify, you should not add Controlify to the "depends": section of your fabric.mod.json.

Instead, you should add Controlify to the "breaks": section. Cause the game to crash when the Controlify version is less than the minimum version your mod supports. This way, if a user has an incompatible version of Controlify, they will crash, but won't crash if they don't have Controlify at all.

For example, if you use a feature added in Controlify 2.5.0, you can add this to your fabric.mod.json:

"breaks": {
    "controlify": "<2.5.0"
}
