Plugins Overview

These are a collection of gradle plugins that are meant to make minecraft mod development easier, by

1. providing sane and easy to configure defaults
2. abstracting away the individual loaders gradle plugin configuration
3. bundling helpful tools like Minotaur, CurseForgeGradle or Spotless

It is divided into several sub-plugins, that can be used in various configurations in multi-loader projects, or simple single-loader projects.
