The mcdev annotations are marked as api in build.gradle, meaning that any downstream users also get the dependency.

This is causing build warnings in Botania that look like warning: unknown enum constant Env.CLIENT reason: class file for com.demonwav.mcdev.annotations.Env not found.

Since these annotations are for static analysis, it would be better to let consumers of the library decide whether they want to opt into this system, in which case the consumer would add its own dependency on the annotation library.

I propose changing the dep to be declared with compileOnly or at least implementation instead.
(Though I'm not sure if this will fix my issue at hand)

throwing a warning when processing annotation

Is this actually an issue ? If you want the warning to go away, you should be able to add mcdev as dependency

Make sense

Facing this issue with IDEA. Project with kotlin that use kapt as annotation processor for another mod. Throwing a warning when process annotation.

The version of cca is 5.0.2.

> Task :kaptKotlin
警告: 未知的枚举常量 Env.CLIENT // Unknown enum
  原因: 找不到com.demonwav.mcdev.annotations.Env的类文件 // Can't find class

Changed it to compileOnly in 2.7.9, could you confirm it is working ?
