TiedUp! Remake

A community remake of TiedUp!, a Minecraft Forge mod adding bondage/restraint roleplay mechanics, NPCs (Damsel, Kidnapper and variants), and related systems, for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Current version: 0.5.6-ALPHA. This is an alpha release — expect bugs, balance changes, and incomplete features between updates.

Credit & Non-Affiliation

The original TiedUp! mod (Minecraft 1.12.2) was created by Yuti & Marl Velius. This project is an independent, community-driven remake for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by the original authors. It exists for preservation and continuation purposes; original assets carried over are used under fair use for preservation/educational purposes (see LICENSE, Part 3).

Requirements

• Minecraft: 1.20.1
• Forge: 47.4.10 or newer
• PlayerAnimator (dev.kosmx.playerAnim) — hard dependency, required for the mod to load. Player and NPC poses are built on top of it.
• bendy-lib (KosmX) — hard dependency, required for limb bending (elbows, knees) on bound players and NPCs.

Optional dependencies

These enable extra compatibility features but are not required to run the mod:

• Patchouli (Vazkii) — powers the in-game guide book. Without it, the guide item is disabled.
• Wildfire's Female Gender Mod — enables gender-aware rendering/physics compat for players using it.
• Minecraft Comes Alive (MCA) — enables capturing, restraining, and imprisoning MCA villagers.
• Architectury API — required by MCA; declared so Forge loads it before the MCA compat layer initializes.

Building

Requires a JDK 17 toolchain (Minecraft 1.20.1 / Forge target Java 17, and the Gradle 8.8 wrapper used here cannot run on a JVM newer than Java 22).

./gradlew build          # Build the mod jar
./gradlew runClient      # Run a Minecraft client with the mod loaded
./gradlew runServer      # Run a dedicated server with the mod loaded

There is no pinned JDK path in gradle.properties — point JAVA_HOME at a JDK 17 install yourself, or use ./build-with-java17.sh (or the provided Makefile), which both locate a JDK 17 install automatically and export JAVA_HOME for you.
