Goal

After this step, you will:

  • be able to build MixelPixel projects without errors
  • have access to all internal APIs and dependencies

[!important]

Complete this step before cloning or building a project.

Otherwise, the project will most likely fail to build.

1. Log in to Nexus

Open: https://repo.mixelpixel.net/

Use the following login format:

  • username = your Minecraft name
  • password = mixelpixel + your birth date

Example

  • username: _Monty_
  • password: mixelpixel-17-03-1999

1.1 Change your password

After logging in for the first time, change your password to something secure.

To do this:

  1. Click your username (top right)
  2. Scroll down to the password section
  3. Enter your current password
  4. Enter your new password twice
  5. Save the changes ("Change password" button)

2. Create the Gradle credentials file

Gradle needs your Nexus credentials to download dependencies.

Create the following file if it does not exist:

```id="y8qzpl" ~/.gradle/gradle.properties 

> [!tip]
>
> `~` refers to your user home directory
>
> Example (Windows): `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\`

---

# 3. Add your credentials

Add the following lines:

```id="c8m2zq"
mixel.username=YOUR_USERNAME
mixel.password=YOUR_PASSWORD

Example

id="5u9pwx" mixel.username=_Monty_ mixel.password=superSecurePassword

4. What this does

When you import or build a project:

  • Gradle downloads dependencies
  • some of these are private MixelPixel libraries
  • these are hosted in Nexus

Your gradle.properties file allows Gradle to authenticate and download them.

Without this, dependencies will fail to load.

5. Security note

[!important]

Never commit your gradle.properties file to Git.

It contains personal credentials and must stay on your local machine.
