Modifications in this fork

This version introduces the following changes to support easier multi‑version and multi‑loader configuration:

1. Centralized Version Configuration

   • Set the target Minecraft version in gradle.properties under minecraft_version.
   • Add a corresponding ${minecraft_version}.properties file inside the versions directory for version‑specific settings.

2. Conditional Loader Subproject Inclusion

   • The build automatically includes or excludes loader‑specific subprojects (Fabric, NeoForge, Forge) based on the corresponding property (fabric_version, neoforge_version, forge_version) defined in the ${minecraft_version}.properties file.
   • A loader subproject is excluded when its property is explicitly set to "null" (as a string).
     Example: fabric_version=null will exclude the Fabric subproject for that Minecraft version.

3. Manifold Preprocessor Support

   • Added the dependency systems.manifold:manifold-preprocessor to enable conditional compilation based on Minecraft versions.
   • In your source code, you can now use the following syntax:

     #if MC1_21_11
     // Code that only compiles for Minecraft 1.21.11
     #endif
     
     #if MC1_21_8
     // Code that only compiles for Minecraft 1.21.8
     #endif
     
     #if MC1_21_X
     // Code that compiles for all Minecraft 1.21.x versions
     #endif

   • The preprocessor directives allow you to write version‑specific code blocks that are automatically included or excluded during compilation based on the target minecraft_version. Wildcard matching (e.g., MC1_21_X) is also supported for version ranges.

These adjustments provide more explicit control over loader inclusion and enable powerful conditional compilation for multi‑version support, while maintaining compatibility with the original template structure.
