+# Code Request — Rules Mod 1.18.2 Build
+
+**Filed by:** Chronicler #88
+**Date:** 2026-04-14
+**Priority:** Medium
+**Target:** Both `rules-mod` (Firefrost internal) and `discord-rules` (CurseForge generic)
+
+---
+
+## Background
+
+We have the rules mod built for 1.16.5, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1. DeceasedCraft runs
+Forge 1.18.2-40.2.4 and needs it too. Build a 1.18.2 version of both variants.
+
+---
+
+## What To Build
+
+### 1. `services/rules-mod/1.18.2/` — Firefrost internal version
+- Base on `services/rules-mod/1.20.1/` (closest Forge version)
+- Target: Forge 1.18.2-40.2.4
+- Java version: **Java 17**
+- Output jar: `firefrostrules-1.0.5-1.18.2-forge.jar`
+
+### 2. `services/discord-rules/1.18.2/` — CurseForge generic version
+- Base on `services/discord-rules/1.20.1/`
+- Same Forge/Java targets as above
+- Output jar: `discord-rules-1.0.5-1.18.2-forge.jar`
+
+---
+
+## Key Differences 1.18.2 vs 1.20.1
+
+- `build.gradle` — change `minecraft_version` to `1.18.2`, `forge_version` to `40.2.4`
+- `mods.toml` — update `loaderVersion` range to `[40,)` and `[[dependencies.serverrules]]` MC version to `[1.18.2,1.19)`
+- MappingsChannel: use `official` mappings (same as 1.20.1 should be fine)
+- No breaking API changes between 1.18.2 and 1.20.1 for what this mod does
+- Config type: use `ModConfig.Type.SERVER` (not COMMON) — confirmed working pattern for 1.18.2 Forge, config goes in `world/serverconfig/`
+
+---
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+```bash
+use-java 17
+cd /opt/mod-builds/firefrost-services/services/rules-mod/1.18.2
+/opt/gradle-8.8/bin/gradle build
+
+cd /opt/mod-builds/firefrost-services/services/discord-rules/1.18.2
+/opt/gradle-8.8/bin/gradle build
+```
+
+Output jars go in `build/libs/` — grab the one without `-sources` or `-dev`.
+
+---
+
+## Deliverable
+
+2 built jars committed to `firefrost-services` main:
+- `services/rules-mod/discord-rules-1.0.5-1.18.2-forge.jar`
+- `services/discord-rules/discord-rules-1.0.5-1.18.2-forge.jar`
+
+Deploy `firefrostrules-1.0.5-1.18.2-forge.jar` to DeceasedCraft:
+- Server UUID: `8950fa1e-acd6-4db9-9595-076007cc26af`
+- Node: NC1
+- Mods path: `/var/lib/pterodactyl/volumes/8950fa1e-acd6-4db9-9595-076007cc26af/mods/`
+- Config path: `world/serverconfig/firefrostrules-server.toml`
+
+After deploy, update `ACTIVE_CONTEXT.md`.
+

+
+## Config for DeceasedCraft After Deploy
+
+```toml
+bot_token = "MTQ4NzA4MDE2Njk2OTU3NzUwMg.GU5EsT.mqBwo7XUHsciN9jNy9OygTRkaMZ9qJ2tHw7HbI"
+channel_id = "DECEASEDCRAFT_RULES_CHANNEL_ID"
+message_id = "DECEASEDCRAFT_RULES_MESSAGE_ID"
+```
+
+Michael needs to provide the channel_id and message_id from Discord — the
+#server-rules-for-bot channel message for DeceasedCraft.
