Very simple and small mod.

Patch ImprovedMobs to let it deal with "ranged melee attacks" like SlashBlades properly.

This mod project utilize TemplateDevEnv,

which runs on Java 21 and utilize Gradle 8.12 + RetroFuturaGradle 1.4.1 + Forge 14.23.5.2847.

1. Click use this template at the top.
2. Clone the repository that you have created with this template to your local machine.
3. Make sure IDEA is using Java 21 for Gradle before you sync the project. Verify this by going to IDEA's Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle > Gradle JVM.
4. Open the project folder in IDEA. When prompted, click "Load Gradle Project" as it detects the build.gradle, if you weren't prompted, right-click the project's build.gradle in IDEA, select Link Gradle Project, after completion, hit Refresh All in the gradle tab on the right.
5. Run gradle tasks such as runClient and runServer in the IDEA gradle tab, or use the auto-imported run configurations like 1. Run Client.

The latest MinecraftDev Fork for RetroFuturaGradle plugin is recommended for IntelliJ users.
