Minecraft VSC Launcher

Quickly run or build your Minecraft Fabric/Forge mods directly from VSCode — no need to touch the terminal. You can also start dataGeneration easily.

🚀 Features

• Adds a button in the top editor title bar.
• Runs ./gradlew runClient or .\gradlew runClient in the terminal.
• Runs ./gradlew build to build the project directly from the menu.
• Runs ./gradlew runDatagen to start dataGeneration
• Supports build and run in one action (build the project, then launch the client automatically).
• Works with Fabric and Forge mod projects using Gradle.
• Automatically opens a terminal in the current workspace folder.
• Warns the user if gradle.properties is missing.

📦 Requirements

• A Minecraft mod project using Gradle (Fabric or Forge).
• The project folder must contain:
  • a gradlew executable (gradle.properties or build.gradle is necessary)
• The VSCode workspace must be open at the root of the mod project.

🛠 How to Use

1. Open your Minecraft mod folder in VSCode.
2. Open any file (the button appears in the top-right editor toolbar).
3. Click the "Run Minecraft Client" button.
4. A terminal will open and run the project with ./gradlew runClient.

💻 Installation
