Need help. Unsure how to compress mod for Minecraft Forge.
BobTheGodly
I am trying to figure out how to get my mod to install into Minecraft using Forge. My coding is not in error I have tested it in the API several times. All I need to know is how to compress my mod and install it.
I know It is .zip compression
I know the .zip file goes into the mods folder in .minecraft
I know It is .zip compression
I know the .zip file goes into the mods folder in .minecraft

Ok I fixed the error myself and got the whole mess sorted out thanks to the help I received. I thank you all who were willing to take time out of your lives to help me.

You simple run recompile.bat/sh, and then run reobfuscate.bat/sh. If this outprints any errors, or you have future issues, feel free to come by #MinecraftForge on esper.net.

I will probably try recompiling it again from the beginning but it is probably packed wrong. I will also double check the class references.
1
No. That means one of your classes is referring to a class that doesn't exist. You either recompiled it wrong, or aren't packaging it correctly
1
so I need a java,lang.class file in my mod?
1
All I know is that is has something to do with where to put the folders in the .zip file, and how they are named.

nope

Post your error log here, so we can see what's causing the crash.

Have you recompiled your .java src files into .class files?

I use a package I tried without the extra folders and the .rar doesnt do anything.
the .zip causes a crash.

woops my bad i meant .rar
are you sure you are not compressing the folder with your mod inside?
if you open the .rar you should see your mod files not a folder

I tried compressing it as a .rar file. Minecraft loads and Forge works but My mod doesn't show up.
When I try as a .zip file Minecraft doesn't load I just get a black screen.
