I've no motivation for modding right now, but always got time for build
system busywork!
CC:T (and CC before that) has always published its API docs. However,
they're not always the most helpful — they're useful if you know what
you're looking for, but aren't a good getting-started guide.
Part of the issue here is there's no examples, and everything is
described pretty abstractly. I have occasionally tried to improve this
(e.g. the peripheral docs in bdffabc08e),
but it's a long road.
This commit adds a new example mod, which registers peripherals, an API
and a turtle upgrade. While the mod itself isn't exported as part of the
docs, we reference blocks of it using Java's new {@snippet} tag.
- Switch the Forge project to use NeoForge's new Legacy MDG plugin. We
don't *need* to do this, but it means the build logic for Forge and
NeoForge is more closely aligned.
- Add a new SnippetTaglet, which is a partial backport of Java 18+'s
{@snippet}.
- Add an example mod. This is a working multi-loader mod, complete with
datagen (albeit with no good multi-loader abstractions).
- Move our existing <pre>{@code ...}</pre> blocks into the example mod,
replacing them with {@snippet}s.
- Add a new overview page to the docs, providing some getting-started
information. We had this already in the dan200.computercraft.api
package docs, but it's not especially visible there.

CC: Tweaked is a mod for Minecraft which adds programmable computers, turtles and more to the game. A fork of the much-beloved ComputerCraft, it continues its legacy with improved performance and stability, along with a wealth of new features.
CC: Tweaked can be installed from Modrinth. It runs on both Minecraft Forge and Fabric.
Contributing
Any contribution is welcome, be that using the mod, reporting bugs or contributing code. If you want to get started developing the mod, check out the instructions here.
Community
If you need help getting started with CC: Tweaked, want to show off your latest project, or just want to chat about
ComputerCraft, do check out our GitHub discussions page! There's also a fairly populated,
albeit quiet IRC channel on EsperNet, if that's more your cup of tea. You can join #computercraft through your
desktop client, or online using KiwiIRC.
We also host fairly comprehensive documentation at tweaked.cc.
Using
CC: Tweaked is hosted on my maven repo, and so is relatively simple to depend on. You may wish to add a soft (or hard)
dependency in your mods.toml file, with the appropriate version bounds, to ensure that API functionality you depend
on is present.
repositories {
maven {
url "https://maven.squiddev.cc"
content {
includeGroup("cc.tweaked")
}
}
}
dependencies {
// Vanilla (i.e. for multi-loader systems)
compileOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-common-api:$cctVersion")
// Forge Gradle
compileOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-core-api:$cctVersion")
compileOnly(fg.deobf("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-forge-api:$cctVersion"))
runtimeOnly(fg.deobf("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-forge:$cctVersion"))
// Fabric Loom
modCompileOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-fabric-api:$cctVersion")
modRuntimeOnly("cc.tweaked:cc-tweaked-$mcVersion-fabric:$cctVersion")
}
You should also be careful to only use classes within the dan200.computercraft.api package. Non-API classes are
subject to change at any point. If you depend on functionality outside the API (or need to mixin to CC:T), please file
an issue to let me know!
We bundle the API sources with the jar, so documentation should be easily viewable within your editor. Alternatively, the generated documentation can be browsed online.
