Fabric gRPC API

gRPC-Fabric – gRPC-Java, packed as a mod

This mod uses Shade plugin to include all required dependencies for using gRPC-Java library in your Fabric mod. Some libraries were removed from the mod because they are already in use and downloaded by Minecraft client/server.

How to use

1. Add Modrinth repository

Since compiled jar file is stored on Modrinth, add their repository according to this guide.

2. Add mod dependency:

dependencies {
    // ...
    implementation 'maven.modrinth:fabric-grpc-api:1.0-fabric'
    compileOnly 'org.apache.tomcat:annotations-api:6.0.53'
    // ...
}

\ Tomcat Annotations API aren’t included because they’re compile only.*

Optionally you can use include directive so that your mod users don’t have to download it manually. But keep in mind, that the size of your mode will increase by ~5MB.

dependencies {
    // ...
    include(implementation('maven.modrinth:fabric-grpc-api:1.0-fabric'))
    compileOnly 'org.apache.tomcat:annotations-api:6.0.53'
    // ...
}

3. (if using protobuf plugin) Specify grpc plugin artifact version

protobuf {
    protoc {
        artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.21.7"
    }
    plugins {
        grpc {
            artifact = 'io.grpc:protoc-gen-grpc-java:1.58.0'
        }
    }
    generateProtoTasks {
        all()*.plugins {
            grpc {}
        }
    }
}
