The Parallel Dev Repo Project

PylonMC has a repository called parallel-dev-repo. This allows you to run Pylon using your very own home-baked version of Rebar, allowing you to test new features much more easily. We recommend you make changes to both Pylon and Rebar using the repository.

Project structure

The project is structured as such: 

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
pylon/
  src/
rebar/
  dokka-plugin/
  nms/
  rebar/
  test/

The pylon directory, unsurprisingly, contains the source code for Pylon.

The rebar directory is more complicated. Inside it are four subprojects: dokka-plugin, nms, rebar, and test.

  • dokka-plugin contains a custom Dokka plugin we use to help with formatting Rebar's Javadocs
  • nms contains all the Rebar code that touches server internals. It is in a separate subproject to effectively isolate potentially unstable code from the rest of the project
  • rebar contains the code for Rebar itself
  • test contains the automated tests for Rebar

Tasks

The parallel dev repo contains a few tasks that are useful for development:

Task Alias Description

:pylon:runServer runStableServer Runs a Minecraft server with the latest stable version of Rebar and the current version of Pylon
