Ah! Thank you so much that is exactly what I was looking for. I am going with the CodeChickenCore solution for now as it is simpler. But I will have to look into how to deobfuscate in the future as it seems a useful skill.

I just started getting in to modding and was able to get forge set up properly and have run though a couple of tutorials no problem. For my first mod I wanted to make a small Tinker's Construct addon but I am having issues getting it set up. Minecraft crashes whenever it tries to load any mods. I've tried others besides TConstruct but always get same or similar errors. Here is the message I am seeing 2014-01-11 21:28:37 [sEVERE] [ForgeModLoader] Caught exception from TConstruct java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: field_71973_m Here are the steps I've taken. 1. Download the forge source and run the install command. 2. Run Minecraft from Eclipse to test. 3. Copy mod's jar file to the mcp/jars/mods folder. 4. Run Minecraft again, console shows forge trying to load the mods but then crashes. I have also tried adding the mod as an external jar in Eclipse by adding it as a library in the build path. But it has the same result. Here is my client-0.log, https://gist.github.com/nye678/8379888 Some notes for clarity, The game is being run from Eclipse, not the forge universal binary I am not trying to add any dev libraries at this point just a binary jar as a player would. Other mods I have tried are Buildcraft and Thermal Expansion, both have the same problem. I have loaded these mods no problem using the current forge universal Likely there is a simple fix, but there were just to many search results about loading mods with the universal binary rather than in a dev environment. Thanks!
