I don't completely understand here. @Mod is used to initialize the mod. And, annotations can only be before methods or classes to feed information, so I don't understand how to apply this. It says it's invalid before the method, and using it before the class doesn't help a bit. I can't use any info I put into the annotation for the class, and annotations are not exactly the object that the method is looking for. I'm sorry if I'm really stupid here, but I'm trying to make sense of this.
Looking at forge documentation on it gives nothing helpful, and neither does looking at the java documentation. I know what an annotation does I think. I don't understand how any of that helps me one bit.
