A Gradle settings plugin that provides curated version catalogs for Minecraft mod development. Apply it once in settings.gradle.kts to get pre-configured, versioned library definitions for popular mods — no more copy-pasting Maven coordinates.

plugins {
    id("com.morphismmc.mod-dev-catalog") version "26.3.25"
}

modDevCatalog {
    catalog("1.21.1-neoforge") // registers as catalog named "mods"
}

The plugin is available from the Gradle Plugin Portal and the MorphismMC Maven repository (https://maven.morphismmc.com/releases).

The catalog is registered under the name mods by default. Alias kebab-case names (jei-api) become dot-accessor chains (mods.jei.api).

dependencies {
    // Single library
    compileOnly(mods.jei.api)

    // Bundle (group of related libraries)
    compileOnly(mods.bundles.jei)
    runtimeOnly(mods.bundles.rei)
}

To use a different catalog name, pass a second argument:

modDevCatalog {
    catalog("1.21.1-neoforge", "modlibs")
}
// then: modlibs.jei.api, modlibs.bundles.jei, etc.

The plugin also automatically configures exclusive-content repository rules for each Maven repository, so Gradle resolves each group from the correct source.
