Neo-Loom
Neo-Loom is a free Gradle plugin for Minecraft mod development environments using NeoForge or MinecraftForge. It is a fork of Fabric Loom and is heavily based on Architectury Loom. Implemented support includes NeoForge 1.21+ and MinecraftForge 1.20.1+. The plugin supports multi-loader projects, dependency management, client and server scope, and dedicated server support. It provides run configurations for NeoForge and MinecraftForge covering server data, client data, and game test server environments. Neo-Loom supports Jar-in-Jar packaging, converts ClassTweaker or AccessWidener files to AccessTransformer format, and supports publishing and consuming ModDevGradle-compatible Access Transformers and Interface Injections. Devlaunch is listed as implemented. Setup uses the Fabric and RelativityMC Maven repositories and the Gradle Plugin Portal, with plugin IDs shown in the README. The repository is MIT licensed and points users to Discord for support. Listed unfinished work includes JUnit, production launch tasks, and split-source, client-only, and server-only setups for (Neo)Forge.
