Getting Started - Composer

This is a guide for getting started with using Composer for mod development! If you're not looking for that, go back where you came from!

Installing composer is as streamline as any other maven package, except it also needs some extra care to handle. This documentation will be for Composer 3 and up, so if you are using any version older than that, please switch to a newer version as those versions have many bugs, or consult the GitHub README for the legacy docs.

Anyway, here's install guides for all your favourite package managers:
Replace (latest_version) with the latest Composer version compatible with your Minecraft version.

Gradle (Groovy DSL) - build.gradle

# gradle.properties
composer_version = (latest_version)

// build.gradle

repositories {
    maven {
        name = "Composer Maven"
        url = "https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/project-codex/composer/maven/"
    }
    maven {
        name = "Cardinal Components"
        url = "https://maven.ladysnake.org/releases"
    }
    maven {
        name "Fuzzy Hamsters"
        url "https://maven.fzzyhmstrs.me/"
    }
}

dependencies {
    modImplementation "com.codex:composer:$composer_version+mc$minecraft_version"
}

Gradle (Kotlin DSL) - build.gradle.kts

# gradle.properties
composer_version = (latest_version)

// build.gradle.kts

repositories {
    maven("https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/project-codex/composer/maven/") {
        name = "Composer Maven"
    }
    maven("https://maven.ladysnake.org/releases") {
        name = "Cardinal Components"
    }
    maven("https://maven.fzzyhmstrs.me/") {
        name = "Fuzzy Hamsters"
    }
}

dependencies {
    modImplementation("com.codex:composer:$composer_version+mc$minecraft_version")
}

After installation, take a look at the API docs, or just browse the code, or do whatever you want because to be honest I have no power over you.
