Minestom LWJGL Example

This repository demonstrates how to setup Minestom with LWJGL.

This can be used to take advantage of OpenGL rendering for maps for instance.

How to use LWJGL with Minestom

(everything in this section can also be found in code in build.gradle and gradle.properties)

Start by adding Jitpack & Mojang libraries as artifact repositories in your Gradle build script:

repositories {
    // ...
    maven { url 'https://libraries.minecraft.net' }
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } // to access packages from GitHub
}

As you depend on LWJGL, you will need to add it to your dependencies:

// If you depend on LWJGL, you need to provide the version and OS
// Check Minestom's build.gradle file if you need to check which version is currently used in case you come across conflicts
project.ext.lwjglVersion = "3.2.3"

switch (org.gradle.internal.os.OperatingSystem.current()) {
    case org.gradle.internal.os.OperatingSystem.LINUX:
        def osArch = System.getProperty("os.arch")
        project.ext.lwjglNatives = osArch.startsWith("arm") || osArch.startsWith("aarch64")
                ? "natives-linux-${osArch.contains("64") || osArch.startsWith("armv8") ? "arm64" : "arm32"}"
                : "natives-linux"
        break
    case org.gradle.internal.os.OperatingSystem.MAC_OS:
        project.ext.lwjglNatives = "natives-macos"
        break
    case org.gradle.internal.os.OperatingSystem.WINDOWS:
        project.ext.lwjglNatives = System.getProperty("os.arch").contains("64") ? "natives-windows" : "natives-windows-x86"
        break
}

dependencies {
    implementation platform("org.lwjgl:lwjgl-bom:$lwjglVersion")
    // natives for LWJGL
    runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl::$lwjglNatives"
    runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-opengl::$lwjglNatives"
    runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-opengles::$lwjglNatives"
    runtimeOnly "org.lwjgl:lwjgl-glfw::$lwjglNatives"

    // ...
}

Then, add Minestom and Minestom LWJGL-related code as dependencies:

dependencies {
    // ...

    implementation "com.github.Minestom:Minestom:${project.minestom_version}" // declare Minestom as dependency
    implementation "com.github.Minestom:Minestom:${project.minestom_version}:lwjgl" // declare Minestom LWJGL code as dependency

    // declare use of Minestom LWJGL-related code (parentheses are required here for the build script to be parsed correctly)
    implementation("com.github.Minestom:Minestom:${project.minestom_version}") {
        capabilities {
            requireCapability("net.minestom.server:Minestom-lwjgl")
        }
    }
}

You're good to go!
