Fixes #5393.

Two separate problems in the same three catalog lines:

  1. The nui version was pinned to 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT, a version TeraNUI has never actually published — its real history goes 1.x → 3.0 → 3.1.x (currently 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT). All three org.terasology.nui:* artifacts (nui, nui-gestalt, nui-reflect) were resolving to whatever got published under that fictional coordinate years ago, frozen ever since, regardless of what TeraNUI's current source actually contains.
  2. terasology-nuigestalt specifically pointed at nui-gestalt, a module TeraNUI hasn't had since it split into nui-gestalt5/nui-gestalt7 in 2021 (MovingBlocks/TeraNUI@0784aad) — so even once the version above is fixed, that artifactId still wouldn't correspond to anything TeraNUI could ever publish again.

Repointed at nui-gestalt8 (MovingBlocks/TeraNUI#86), the module that's actually compatible with this project's gestalt 8.0.2-SNAPSHOT — neither nui-gestalt5 nor nui-gestalt7 support the Supplier<ModuleEnvironment> constructor shape ComponentLibrary/EventLibrary/BlockFamilyLibrary/DefaultWorldGeneratorPluginLibrary/NUIManagerInternal actually use.

Test plan:

  • Wired nui-gestalt8 into this checkout via composite-build source substitution (includeBuild, not part of this diff — TeraNUI#86 isn't published anywhere yet) and confirmed :engine:compileJava, :engine:compileTestJava, and :engine-tests:compileTestJava all compile cleanly against real, current TeraNUI source for the first time
  • Confirmed against the real Artifactory (no source substitution) that org.terasology.nui:nui:3.1.1-SNAPSHOT and org.terasology.nui:nui-reflect:3.1.1-SNAPSHOT already resolve today — only org.terasology.nui:nui-gestalt8:3.1.1-SNAPSHOT is missing (:engine:dependencies fails on exactly that one coordinate, nothing else)

Don't merge this ahead of TeraNUI#86 actually publishing — unlike the old dead nui-gestalt coordinate (which at least resolved, just to stale content), nui-gestalt8 doesn't exist at all yet, so merging this now would make :engine:dependencies/any build hard-fail for everyone until MovingBlocks/TeraNUI#86 (and the PRs it's stacked on) merge and a CI run publishes it. The nui/nui-reflect version fix (4.0.0-SNAPSHOT → 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT) is independently safe and already resolves against the real Artifactory today, if it's worth splitting out and merging separately/sooner.

Fixes #5393.

Two separate problems in the same three catalog lines:

1. The "nui" version was pinned to 4.0.0-SNAPSHOT, a version TeraNUI has
   never actually published - its real history goes 1.x -> 3.0 -> 3.1.x
   (currently 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT). All three org.terasology.nui:* artifacts
   (nui, nui-gestalt, nui-reflect) were resolving to whatever got published
   under that fictional coordinate years ago, frozen ever since, regardless
   of what TeraNUI's current source actually contains.

2. terasology-nuigestalt specifically pointed at "nui-gestalt", a module
   TeraNUI hasn't had since it split into nui-gestalt5/nui-gestalt7 in 2021
   (MovingBlocks/TeraNUI@0784aad) - so even once the version above is
   fixed, that artifactId still wouldn't correspond to anything
   TeraNUI could ever publish again.

Repointed at nui-gestalt8 (MovingBlocks/TeraNUI#86), the module that's
actually compatible with this project's gestalt 8.0.2-SNAPSHOT - neither
nui-gestalt5 nor nui-gestalt7 support the Supplier<ModuleEnvironment>
constructor shape engine's ComponentLibrary/EventLibrary/BlockFamilyLibrary/
DefaultWorldGeneratorPluginLibrary/NUIManagerInternal actually use.

Verified: wired nui-gestalt8 into this checkout via composite-build source
substitution (includeBuild, not committed here - TeraNUI#86 isn't published
anywhere yet) and confirmed :engine:compileJava, :engine:compileTestJava,
and :engine-tests:compileTestJava all compile cleanly against real,
current TeraNUI source for the first time. Can't verify against Artifactory
directly until MovingBlocks/TeraNUI#86 (and the PRs it's stacked on) merge
and publish - this catalog change is inert until then, same as it already
was.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Corrected the TeraNUI dependency version.
    • Updated the Gestalt integration to use the appropriate artifact, improving dependency compatibility.

Walkthrough

The Gradle settings update changes the TeraNUI version and replaces the Gestalt integration artifact with nui-gestalt8. Comments document both corrections.

Changes

TeraNUI catalog update

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update TeraNUI dependency declarations
settings.gradle.kts
The TeraNUI version changes to 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT. The Gestalt artifact changes from nui-gestalt to nui-gestalt8. Comments explain both corrections.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 42d6a

This change points the build at a dependency that is not yet published, so normal builds will fail until the upstream artifact becomes available. The PR should not merge before that dependency is published.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a catalog bright,
TeraNUI hops to the version right.
Gestalt finds its nui-gestalt8 trail,
Comments mark the corrected tale.
Sproing! The settings file is neat.

MovingBlocks TeraNUI PR 86 nui-gestalt8 publication org.terasology.nui

💡 Result:

TeraNUI is the standalone UI framework used by the Terasology engine, which was extracted from the main engine codebase into its own repository [1][2]. Regarding the specific terms in your query: 1. nui-gestalt8: This refers to the version of the gestalt integration module for TeraNUI [3]. As of recent development, the Terasology project has been migrating to Gestalt 8 (gestalt 8.0.0-SNAPSHOT), which involves upgrading dependencies and transitioning the UI framework's gestalt integration to support these updated libraries [3]. 2. org.terasology.nui: This is the primary package namespace for the TeraNUI framework [4]. Following the extraction of NUI into the independent TeraNUI library, references in the engine were updated from the internal org.terasology.rendering.nui to the external org.terasology.nui namespace [4]. 3. PR 86 / MovingBlocks: While specific GitHub pull request numbers (like #86) may refer to internal history within the TeraNUI repository, the framework itself is maintained under the MovingBlocks GitHub organization [1]. Development typically involves managing compatibility between versions of the NUI framework and the underlying Gestalt dependency injection and reflection libraries [1][2][5]. For the most accurate status of a specific pull request, you should consult the pull request list directly on the MovingBlocks/TeraNUI GitHub repository. [1][6]

Closing - my diagnosis was wrong. I claimed org.terasology.nui:nui-gestalt:4.0.0-SNAPSHOT was a 5-year-orphaned artifact with no corresponding source. That's false: it's being actively, continuously published by Jenkins right now, from MovingBlocks/TeraNUI's preview/v4.x-SNAPSHOT branch (last published 2026-08-22, build #9, matching that branch's latest commit almost to the minute). I never actually checked the real publish timestamp or looked for that branch before concluding it was dead and building a replacement module on top of that wrong premise. Sorry for the noise.
