+# ModDevGradle Legacy Plugin
+ModDevGradle has a secondary plugin (ID: `net.neoforged.moddevgradle.legacy`, released alongside the normal plugin with the same version)
+that adds support for developing mods against MinecraftForge and Vanilla Minecraft versions 1.17 up to 1.20.1.  
+
+The legacy plugin is an "addon" plugin, meaning it operates on top of the normal plugin. This means that the APIs normally used
+are also available when using the legacy plugin.
+
+## Basic Usage for MinecraftForge Mods
+An example `build.gradle` file for developing a mod against MinecraftForge for 1.20.1 is provided below:
+```groovy
+plugins {
+    // Apply the plugin. You can find the latest version at https://projects.neoforged.net/neoforged/ModDevGradle
+    id 'net.neoforged.moddev.legacy' version '2.0.28-beta'
+}
+
+neoForge {
+    // Develop against MinecraftForge version 47.3.0 for 1.20.1 (the versions can be found at https://files.minecraftforge.net/)
+    version = "1.20.1-47.3.0"
+    
+    // Validate AT files and raise errors when they have invalid targets
+    // This option is false by default, but turning it on is recommended
+    validateAccessTransformers = true
+
+    runs {
+        client {
+            client()
+        }
+        data {
+            data()
+        }
+        server {
+            server()
+        }
+    }
+
+    mods {
+        testproject {
+            sourceSet sourceSets.main
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Reobfuscating artifacts
+Forge used SRG mappings as intermediary mappings in 1.20.1 and below. While your mod is developed against the mappings provided
+by Mojang (known as official mappings), you need to reobfuscate it to SRG mappings for it to work in production.  
+Reobfuscation will automatically be configured for the `jar` task; the non-obfuscated jar will have a `-dev` classifier
+and will not be published in favour of the reobfuscated variant. You should upload the `reobfJar` task's output when using a
+task to upload to a mod hosting platform, or otherwise the jar without a `-dev` classifier if you're uploading it manually.  
+
+You may reobfuscate other jar tasks using `obfuscation.reobfuscate(TaskProvider<AbstractArchiveTask>, SourceSet, Action<RemapJarTask>)`.  
+For instance, if you want to reobfuscate a `shadowJar` task:
+```groovy
+shadowJar {
+    // Change the classifier of the shadow jar to be -dev-all as it's not mapped in intermediary and not usable for production
+    archiveClassifier = 'dev-all'
+}
+
+obfuscation {
+    // Reobfuscate the shadowJar task, using the classpath of the main sourceset for properly remapping inherited members
+    reobfuscate(tasks.named('shadowJar'), sourceSets.main) {
+        // Make the reobfuscated shadowJar have the all classifier
+        // You could also change it to an empty string if you want it to not have a classifier (in that case, you will also need to change the classifier of the slim `reobfJar` task
+        archiveClassifier = 'all'
+    }
+}
+```
+
+When reobfuscating a jar, it will be replaced in publications with the obfuscated version to avoid publishing jars that aren't mapped to SRG.
+
+## Remapping mod dependencies
+As published mods are using intermediary mappings, you must remap them to official mappings before being able to use them as a dependencies.  
+ModDevGradle creates configurations that will automatically remap dependencies added to them from SRG mappings to official mappings.  
+The following configurations are created automatically and are children of the configurations without the `mod` prefix:
+- `modImplementation`
+- `modRuntimeOnly`
+- `modCompileOnly`
+- `modApi` (only if the `java-library` plugin is applied)
+- `modCompileOnlyApi` (only if the `java-library` plugin is applied)
+
+You may create your own remapping configurations using `obfuscation.createRemappingConfiguration(Configuration)`:
+```groovy
+configurations {
+    // Create a custom configuration named "custom"
+    custom
+}
+
+obfuscation {
+    // Create a configuration named "modCustom" that remaps its dependencies and then adds them to the "custom" configuration
+    createRemappingConfiguration(configurations.custom)
+}
+```
+
+## Effects of applying the legacy plugin
+When applied, the legacy plugin will change the base NeoForm and NeoForge artifact coordinates of the `neoForge` extension to
+`de.oceanlabs.mcp:mcp_config` and `net.minecraftforge:forge`.  
+It will also trigger the creation of various intermediary (SRG) to named (official) mapping files used by various parts of the toolchain, such as
+mod reobfuscation and runtime naming services.  
+Reobfuscation to the intermediary mappings will automatically be configured for the `jar` task, the non-obfuscated jar will have a `-dev` classifier
+and will not be published in favour of the reobfuscated variant.
