Editors
GroovyScript, using Groovy, can be modified in any text editor. However, some editors have integration that allows for easier coding. All editor support requires starting the language server.
Start the Language Server:
There are two ways to start the language server.
- Adding
-Dgroovyscript.run_ls=trueto the JVM arguments in your preferred launcher and start Minecraft with GroovyScript. You will be able to connect to the language server as soon as GroovyScript has been loaded in theFMLInitializationEventload step. - By starting Minecraft and GroovyScript and running the
/grs runLScommand. As commands can only be run in-game, you will obviously need to load into a world for that.
You can check if the server started by checking for a Starting Language server message in the groovy.log file.
By default, the language server is started with a port of 25564. This is configurable in the groovyscript.cfg config file.
Visual Studio Code
VS Code is an editor built on open source software and distributed by Microsoft. This extension will work with any fork of VS Code, but will presume you are using VS Code.
GroovyScript has created an extension, called GroovyScript, distributed by CleanroomMC. This extension adds syntax validation, auto-completion for all installed mods, and hover information.
Installation
- Open VS Code and install the
GroovyScriptextension - Open the instance folder (typically
minecraft) or thegroovyfolder of a modpack in VS Code. - Start the Language Server via the instructions above
- The port in the
groovyscript.cfgconfig file must match the port setting in the VS Code extension. - If you just opened VS Code, it should auto connect. Otherwise, run the GroovyScript: Reconnect command.
- Done
Emacs
Emacs is a group of open source editors, with the largest edition being distributed by GNU. This language support will work with any variation of Emacs, but will presume you are using GNU Emacs.
Installation
- Open Emacs and install lsp-mode, and follow further installation instructions for lsp-mode.
- Install the GroovyScript LSP file here:
