Many people are looking for a way to make mods, so i decided to bring you to the right way.

OKAY NOW YOU MAY THINK THIS BLOG IS TOO LONG BUT IS VERY USEFUL XD PLS DON'T GO AWAY

this first part of the guide will just be an instruction to how to start.
I'll tell you what is right and what is wrong when you start modding.

So if you are reading this, you probably want to begin modding (or you are just too bored XD)

well let's start:

WHAT YOU HAVE NOT TO DO:

1) Programs:

Another common error that you probably made: searching programs for modding.
yep, this is the most common error and, another time, committed by me (and that's how i casually started modding, maybe i'll write it in the bottom of the page).
Ok there are two tipes of programs, good and bad, of course if you can't mod and you just want a program to do your work, weell... you are in the wrong way.ù
Also if you know how to mod, these programs are no longer useful... okay well, with some exceptions, but a will talk about this later.

2) Eclipse do everything

There is a program, not to make minecraft mods but in general to program with java, wich is very useful if you use it in the right way: Eclipse!
But many people don't know what they are doing when they use this program (wich is very good if used in the correct way) and let eclipse do everithing.
The result is that you will edit a lot of vanilla files (not needed and NOT DONE BY ME) and the mod may not work or minecraft may not work too.
You can use Eclipse to recognise and to correct errors, but YOU HAVE TO THINK AND KNOW WHAT U ARE DOIG!

WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO (finally):

1) MCP guides

Okay, maybe you just want to start writing codes or doing wathever you think you have to do to make mods...
But NO, first of all you have to learn how does the program to make mods works, yeah, MCP, and what is better than a good youtube guide?
Also, i think forge is better than modloader, and to install it, you don't have to install MCP, it will be installed during the Forge installing process, sooo....

2) Forge

If you have forge, you have modloader, because forge is a more open mod loader thing and it contains modloader too.
Now, to install "the forge you use for modding" you have to install the SOURCE and NOT the UNIVERSAL one....
then just install forge (maybe my next guide will be "Using Forge MCP")

3) Coding program

Okay, eclipse is useful but i don't usually use a program like that, but just a notepad like program called "Programmer Notepad 2".
Then just right click on a .java files, go to properties and then "Open with" and change or set the custom program to "Programmer's Notepad" (maybe you have to search it manually).

4) Coding guides

And we are finally here, as i already sayed, you haven't to juse programs for now, just do this, create a newfile.txt and change the extension to .java
now you have a java, but where to put it? let's just make it simple, go to the folder "MCP/src/minecraft/net/minecraft/src"
and now... you just have to write on the top of the file:
package net.minecraft.src
The package indicates... well... the package where the java file is (you don't say XD)
public class YOURNAME
{
}
inside this you will have to put all your codes.... and now? follow any of the forge m,odding tutorials on the internet likeForge basic modding to begin

5) Eclipse (good way)

Now you can make another use of eclipse, if you know what u are doing, you can use it to find all errors and correct them by yourself or let just eclipse suggest you.
For example you can use it when updating a mod to another version (but i'm running too fast, you didn't even create it LOL).

I think it's enough for today but wait... i was forgetting... my story!

How did I start modding???

I started modding committing the errors (some of the errors) i wrote... yep:
i first was looking for a program to make blocks (how stupid i was.... XD) then one .java file (no two) were created, then i just did reconpile, and, how can u imagine, a lot of errors came out.
Than i read what the error was, and opened the whatever.java file and looked at the error, "it isn't so complicated" i thought and i edited it.
It was working, after looking at some REAL guides and gaining some experience.... weeeell... i'm here! And i made a dimension mod! and i'm programming new mods! YEP!

And you? Do you want to learn or you were just so bored that you read this whole guide???
ANYWAY ENJOY AND DIAMOND AND FAV IF U LIKED IT!
AH AND ALSO COMMENT!
