### Start Video Playback - Java

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/API-Implementations

Initiates video playback using a VideoPlayer instance. Requires a URI specifying the video source.

```java
videoPlayer.start(new URI("minecraft:videos/intro.mp4"));
```

--------------------------------

### Get Image Renderer - Java

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/API-Implementations

Obtains an ImageRenderer after the image status is READY. Handles video content by providing a default 'Failed to Load VLC' renderer, requiring custom media player creation for actual video playback.

```java
ImageCache.getRenderer();
```

--------------------------------

### Get Exception on Failure - Java

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/API-Implementations

Retrieves the exception that caused an ImageCache load to fail. This is called when ImageCache#getStatus() returns FAILED.

```java
ImageCache.getException();
```

--------------------------------

### Get Image Cache - Java

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/API-Implementations

Retrieves the cached version of an image. Requires a URI and an Executor. The Executor is typically the Minecraft instance for async rendering.

```java
ImageCache.getCache(new URI("minecraft:textures/gui/container/creative_inventory/tabs.png"), Minecraft.getMinecraft());
```

--------------------------------

### Create Video Player - Java

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/API-Implementations

Instantiates a VideoPlayer. Requires a MediaPlayerFactory and an Executor for asynchronous operations.

```java
new VideoPlayer(mediaPlayerFactory, Minecraft.getMinecraft());
```

--------------------------------

### Load Image - Java

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/API-Implementations

Steps to load an image using ImageCache. This involves declaring usage, checking status, loading, and then monitoring until ready or failed.

```java
ImageCache.use();
ImageCache.getStatus();
ImageCache.load();
ImageCache.getStatus();
```

### Add CurseMaven Repository to Gradle

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/Home

Configure your Gradle build to include the CurseMaven repository for dependency management. This is a prerequisite for adding WaterMedia.

```gradle
repositories {
    // ...
    maven {
        url "https://www.cursemaven.com"
        content { includeGroup "curse.maven" }
    }
}
```

--------------------------------

### Implement WaterMedia Dependency in Gradle

Source: https://github.com/watermediateam/watermedia/wiki/Home

Add the WaterMedia dependency to your project's build file. It is recommended to manage the version in gradle.properties. Supports both Forge and Fabric.

```gradle
watermediaversion = '4600199'
dependencies {
     // FORGE
     implementation fg.deobf("curse.maven:watermedia-869524:${watermediaversion}")

     // FABRIC
     modImplementation "curse.maven:watermedia-869524:${watermediaversion}"
```
