for resource pack and data pack creators:
you just need to put in the root of your resource pack/data pack a file named "RPD.toml", like this:

and inside the file you need to do something like this:

[[Mods]]
id = "coolMod"
version = "1.2"

[[Mods]]
id = "anotherCoolMod"
version = "3.23"

to be noted:

the empty line between one mod and another is necessary, so configs like:

[[Mods]]
id = "coolMod"
version = "1.2"
[[Mods]]
id = "anotherCoolMod"
version = "3.23"

and

[[Mods]]
id = "coolMod"
version = "1.2"
id = "anotherCoolMod"
version = "3.23"

are WRONG!

you can also write "any" instead of the version to allow any mod version to be used

[[Mods]]
id = "coolMod"
version = "any"

[[Mods]]
id = "anotherCoolMod"
version = "3.23"

Mods alternatives

with this you can have multiple alternatives for a mod

[[Mods]]
id = "coolmod"
version = "any"

    [[Mods.Alternatives]] #the indentation is highly suggested
    first = {id = "mod", version = "1.21"}
    second = {id = "boringmod", version = "0.2"}

[[Mods]]
id = "leggenadarymod"
version = "any"

[[Mods.Alternatives]] # but as shown here, not necessary
potato = {id = "normalmod", version = "1.21"}

i suggest to use the indentation because it's more understandable for you and whoever read the file after you

this is the legacy config to allow alternative mods

i highly suggest you to use the new method, this one is here only for retro-compatibility

[[Mods]]
id = "coolMod||lessCoolMod"
version = "any"

[[Mods]]
id = "boringMod||epicMod||suckerMod"
version = "any"

so RPdepent will check if there is at least 1 of the mods
be aware that it's suggested to just put "any" in the version field since you can't decide (yet) the version for each of them

TO BE NOTED:

it's highly suggested to just use "any" in the version field since there is no ">", "<" , ">=", "<=" operator, it's impossible to do with mods versions

how to build

You just need to clone the repository on your IDE and run the gradle task "build"
