Lithostitched can be utilized by both datapacks and mods for its data-driven capabilities.

The first method to using Lithostitched is simply to add the mod to your mods folder. The only additional capability by importing the mod through Gradle is being able to add custom structure condition and worldgen modifier types.

The second method to using Lithostitched is to add the mod as a dependency in your project.

// Add the Modrinth maven to your build.gradle(.kts)'s `repositories` block
repositories {
    maven {
        url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven"
    }
}


// Add the mod as a dependency in the `dependencies` block
// Note that I've dropped the `1.` in `1.21.1`
dependencies {
    modImplementation "maven.modrinth:lithostitched:1.7.9-fabric-21.1"
}
