Thank you so much!

I was wondering do you know how to install the API so that it is useable when modding with forge? I got the ic2 jar file installed and I got a folder call ic2, but I couldn't access the ic2 files as a referenced library. Please help if you know how.

Hey all! I want to make a mod that expands off of IC2 and Thermal Expansion like Forestry does. By that I mean that I want my mod to have access to the items from both mods, the power system, the fluid system, etc.. I have no idea how to do that. I believe that IC2 had an API but I don't know if it does any more. I don't think that Thermal Expansion has been updated to 1.7.2 yet but I know that IC2 has. Please help me get an idea of where to start in this regard. If you can send me to some tutorials that would be even better. Thanks so much for your time! Sincerely, Leonardude

Thanks!

Hey all! I'm on a mac and I have a great idea for a mod with some modding experience. Unfortunately that experience was prior to 1.7. I have two main questions. Firstly, should I have my mod be 1.7.2 or 1.7.5 or both or something else? Secondly, and more importantly, where can I find a tutorial for how to set up the modding workspace with everything needed for 1.7 modding. I've been searching high and low and I just can't find anything. I know that after setting up the workspace I can just use the available 1.7 tutorials out on the internet, but I really need to know how to set up the modding workspace so that I can just get down to modding. Thanks so much for your replies! Leonardude

I actually didn't copy and paste the code, and I knew that they were references to classes, but I just wanted to be completely sure, and I don't appreciate you assuming that my knowledge about coding is diminutive.

Okay I'll ask a more specific question. What is myGenBiomes, what is myBiomeIndexLayer, what is myBiomeCache, and what is myBiomesToSpawnIn? This should be more answerable.

Help anyone?

I was asking what I have to change from the tutorial, not from vanilla.

Hey all! I was looking through a tutorial on making a custom dimension, and I don't know which parts I'm supposed to edit from it, so I came here for help. Can you please tell me which parts I need to edit, and what I need to put in the parts that I need to edit?

What do I do with my ChunkProvider after I create it? Which classes extend it if any?

Thanks! When can you message me?

I know about inheritance and all of that. I've known Java for around two years. I just don't understand what to do relating to the cactus and what inheritance has to do with getting my cactus to only be able to be placed on my custom block.

I don't understand what I would need to do with canBlockStay to make it only work for my custom block.

So then how do I use my ChunkProvider that I create?

Can someone reply?

I don't think that you guys know what I'm asking right now. The current cactus spawning code uses the Enumeration DESERT, which means that it can only spawn or be place on sand, based on the if statements in the given methods. What I need to do is have my own cactus spawn on my own block, USING MY OWN ENUMERATION! (Bold wasn't working so I had to capitalize it) I don't know how to create my own enumeration that acts like the DESERT enumeration, but uses a custom block instead of sand.

I'm pretty sure the only method that I have to override is Block.canSustainPlant but that uses Enum Plant Types, and that only works for growing plants on vanilla blocks. I want my cactus to grow on my own version of sand, so I need to do other stuff with it than just override a method.

There is nothing in the BlockCactus class that lets me stack my cactus on top of others of my cacti, and there is nothing letting me make my cactus only be able to be put down on my custom block, so if you could help me with that, then that would be great!

Hey all! Does anyone know of any minecraft modding 1.7 tutorials? I heard that you have to use something called Gretle or something like that, and I have no idea what that's about and I'd like to get ahead of the game.

And then in my biomes I extend that chunk provider right? And what does the code that you posted do?

Like, do I extend BlockCactus or not?

So do I have to edit actual minecraft or do I create my own ChunkProvider? I'm thinking that I have to create my own ChunkProvider but I'm not sure.

Can you give me a more direct answer using actual code please?
