Development Workflow

For first-time setup, you can run:

./gradlew setupHytaleDev

During development:

./gradlew runServer

What happens during normal development:

1. updatePluginManifest writes manifest values from Gradle configuration, if missing createManifestIfMissing creates a default.
2. validateManifest runs before processResources, ensuring the manifest is generated and checked as part of the build.
3. runServer prepares the run directory, downloads assets if needed, and launches the server.

Because manifest generation and validation are wired into the build, most projects do not need to invoke those tasks manually.
