It requires Java 8 as Minecraft 1.12 does while support for Java 9 isn't quite there yet. Note: You can't set the workspace up with Java 9. See here and here. I guess this could help to answer your question. From what I know not much changed there, so it should still be relevant.

I believe at this point it requires java 8, but I know it does not yet support java 9

A very silly mistake indeed I'm glad you figured it out. Happy modding!

You need to update to get support here, 1.7.10 is no longer supported.

Start small, a simple block, a simple item. You sound as if you know what you are doing in a development sense, so when you run into issues, come back here with a github repo link and a post/link of your fml-client-latest.log. Important to know how minecraft as well as forge works, i.e. blocks and items are singletons, so there is only 1 instance of their class that exists within the game, "items" that are in the world are Entities, in an inventory they are ItemStacks, client side vs server side. Honestly, I've never seen any tutorials (especially videos) that were 100% "good". The forge docs give the bare minimum info (although it's much more informative once you get going), and the majority of the tutorials/videos are "here, type this code to do this. It works." I always took what I got from them and then combed through the forums for "authoritative" ways to do it (or to confirm what I found was legit/the right way). Inspecting the vanilla sources is a good way to start doing things as well. Some of the links I have bookmarked, more for reference as opposed to straight up tutorial: I liked how this guy setup his item/block registration: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/49497-1112-is-using-registryevent-this-way-ok/#comment-249433 More stuff on registering stuff: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/58997-112-registering-blocks-and-itemblocks-the-new-way/ TheGreyGhosts Minecraft By Example repo: https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample Draco18s Reasonable Realism repo: https://github.com/Draco18s/ReasonableRealism Shadowfacts Tutorials: https://shadowfacts.net/tutorials/ diesieben07s common problems/caveats thread: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/topic/61757-common-issues-and-recommendations/#comment-289566 Hope this helps, and definitely if you know how to program, when you run into issues, come here with a link to your code, and either a link or post your fml-client-latest.log, and you'll more than likely get help. The guys on here know their minecraft forge, they just don't have the time or inclination to teach kids java for free

Hey all! I'd like to introduce to you my new project: CharacterOverrideUtils. This mod is actually the first formally-released mod I've ever created. All of my previous mods are super simple and add a block or item, just for messing around. Only for personal use, too. This is a bit of a change because it's got a lot more functionality, took a lot more work, and has been released here. Phew. So - What is this? CharacterOverrideUtils is a mod that ties into Noppes's MorePlayerModels mod to append proportional collisions to your player model of choice. Writing this wasn't as easy as I had hoped, but I pushed through it and made sure I did it right. Came out rather well I think. Please note: This mod will not function unless you have MorePlayerModels active. Let me know what you think of it, as well as what you think should be added, changed, or removed. Edit to mock how long it took me: After 10,000 years in development, hopefully it will have been worth the wait. Functionality: Whenever you change a property of your model (scale, for instance) or change the entity you're disguised as, your collision box and other corresponding properties will update to reflect that of the model automatically. If you become something small enough, you can fit in 1x1 spaces! Suffocation mechanics have been reworked. A side effect of Minecraft's default method for detecting suffocation causes it to think the player should suffocate, should they be placed in a 1x1 tunnel. I've reworked this value accordingly. Please message me if you find any areas where it hurts you and shouldn't. Block push mechanics have also been changed. These were the mechanics responsible for pushing you away if sand or gravel fell on you, for instance. They have been removed due to lack of adequate compatibility. Command: /eyepos - This command is used to offset your eye position. This is good for when you have a model that has a scale of 0.5, where the eye is just high enough to clip the ceiling if you jump. /eyepos with no args will print your eye height offset. /eyepos <value> will set the offset /eyepos <value> <player> will set the offset for someone else Game rules: eyeOffsetDistanceLimit - The maximum value (plus or minus) for an acceptable value from /eyepos <value> allowPlayerChangeEyes - Takes in true or false, and if true players can use /eyepos <value>. If false, only ops and the server owner can use the command canOpsIgnoreEyeLimit - Self explanatory. If true, the eye limit will not be applied to ops. A CoreMod written to support multiple versions! Through a value store I have been able to store the obfuscated names for the methods I replace, as well as any opcode changes. Known bugs: Rare inconsistencies with eye height offsets, though I think they've been patched. At times it may give you the wrong value. Just use /eyepos 0 if you really wanna make sure it's right.
