Archived until futher notice, Scala can be a useful lanuage, but the cost of distributing the scala runtime files has been a major burden on Forge for a long time. Tho I have no intention of removing those files from our servers so that legacy versions can still be used. I also do not have any intentions of ever updating this to newer minecraft versions. Also this hasn't even been updated to 1.20. There are other projects out there that add updated scala as a Forge language loader. Use any of them.

Scorge

A Forge language loader the Scala programming language

Supported Scala version

Current Supported version is 3.2.1

Shaded libraries

Scorge currently includes

• scala3-library_3
• scala-library

Scala Version Policy

Scorge will only support the latest major release of Scala starting once Forge is stabilized for a release. It will lock Scala version till its next stable release. Scorge will not support release candidates or milestone versions of Scala.

Scorge library policy

If you want to add a new library for Scorge to support.

1. It must be made for Scala
2. You must have a good technical reason as to why it would be better supported in Scorge instead of being shipped with your mod.

If you want to drop a library supported by Scorge

1. It must be done during a version switch of minecraft to not break backwards compatibility within an MC version
2. You must have a good technical reason as to why it should be dropped

Usage

(You can find a complete example setup in the example directory.)

To use Scorge in your project, simply add it to your gradle dependencies. Scorge will automatically add the necessary scala libraries to your compile classpath.

dependencies {
    implementation 'net.minecraftforge:Scorge:VERSION'
}

Next, modify your mods.toml to use the scorge loader. Additionally, each declared mod also needs to have an entryClass attribute that points to the mod's scala class.

modLoader="scorge"
loaderVersion="[4,)"

[[mods]]
    entryClass="com.example.mod.ExampleScalaMod"
