Adding external libraries (JDA, tomlj) to my mod

[dark hill]

I have a mod, which works, but i now want to get it into a JAR. It has 2 external dependencies, JDA and tomlj for discord bots and TOML. Now i want to include those in the JAR, so itll run on the server. I know im supposed to do this with shadow jar, but i cannot figure out how to. Either it includes too little, or WAY too much (mod with 1 file suddenly becomes 111 MB). It's a very annoying issue, since the entire mod works but i just cant compile it. Please help if you can!

Shadow jar is built-in. Just added include for required dependencies (sometimes require manual write also sub dependencies)

include(implementation(...))

[dark hill]

its not buitl in, but the issue with include is that it doesnt include dependencies of dependencies

and those dependencies also have dependencies

and im not gonna go through every single dependency there might be

i dont even kow where i would find all of those dependencies

[blazing urchin]

Is it. And ye you can't (at least I didn't found) make recursive dep include and you need do it one by one

All libs you can found here and by ClassNotFoundException just incluide required

[dark hill]

if it is, then why do i have to include it as a plugin and cant run it if it isnt included as a plugin

and the entire reason for shadowjar to exist is for the transitive dependencies

You not need to write anyhing else to gradle that just incude

My longest manual list was this

[blazing urchin]

Cause your gradle isn't part of they gradle. But it's still enoght to put jars into without any problem compare to Vanilla Java/Gradle

[dark hill]

so it isnt automatically built in

[dark hill]

there are a million different ones in there im not gonna go through every one checking if its already included or not

i could do it, but it would be super annoying and not the best solution especially if i wanted to add more external libraries later on

[dark hill]

ANdh ow do i even know what the correcct names for these packages are

Its saying its missing some classes from antlr, which ive now included in the dependencies

yet its still giving the error

[blazing urchin]

I mostly just putting whole name (package and class) to any place in code

Ctrl + Right Click on it

and it open correct package in External Libraries

[dark hill]

im not fully getting what u mean by this

where am i supposed to ctrl right click
