Hey all. I've been using PM for quite awhile for a source of mods but this is my first foray into the forums.

I'm 34 and a programmer. I put out one mod for 1.6.2 called Extended Enchants which had a very short life as soon 1.7 was released. But it was a great learning experience. I'm also apart of the Powercraft team trying to get that mod updated and out before pigs fly. Learning the Java language and the Minecraft object model has been a great experience.

I enjoy tackling large projects in survival mode on my private server and marveling at some of the breathtaking projects that have been done. The game and the fans who play continually amaze at how they can turn simple blocks into works of art.

I'll try to answer any questions if asked, otherwise, hope to see you all around the forums.

When downloading forge, you download the (src) version not the installer. Their new system uses Gradle to set everything up. They have Readme's and simple instructions.

I believe the command is grandlew setupDevWorkspace or something similar. Any *.java file can be opened in a text editor, eclipse is just nice for seeing the entire project.

Well I had 15 years of prior programming experience which helped.

The rest was learning the object model Minecraft uses. In the end, it depends on how best you learn new things.

If it's a simple mod, then it isn't too involved, as the complexity of the mod goes up, so do the number of things you need to take into account.

Downloading the forge source, eclipse, and an opensource mod. Go through the code and start picking and prodding at it.

Wait, what do you open the MC code in? Eclipse doesn't open it, so is it the forge or opensource mod that does so?

You get to the code by opening up the files.. It doesn't have to be with a programme..



Welcome to the forums, Buggi. They're every bit as good as the main site, for sure.
