Ah well, that's not quite true I think The vanilla minecraft code has poor documentation because it changes all the time, not much to be done about that. Most of the time, it's most helpful to think of a vanilla object that does something similar to what you want, then go look at the code for it. But the "Forge" packages have patchy documentation because many of the contributors haven't taken the time to document their stuff properly. As a result, you've got to hunt through the implementation code to try and figure out how to use the classes and methods correctly. Some are a lot better than others, but it's very rare for them to be up to the standard of, say, the java.util package. The bigger picture stuff such as overviews, example implementations or test cases, etc is almost totally missing, which is where the various tutorial and sample code lying around the place can be helpful (its quality is highly variable!). Once you've amassed a certain amount of knowledge, the rest becomes easier to find, the problem is sticking with it long enough (and having the temper control to not punch your screen in after wasting an entire day chasing a red herring). You might find this tutorial project a useful base to start working from. https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/MinecraftByExample -TGG where can I find the implementation stuff? Sorry if I'm coming off as mildly stupid, I'm used to Bukkit where every tiny feature is documented

Thank you so much! The one thing I've noticed with Forge is a lack of documentation, as I've been wanting to mod for some time, but can't find out how to start. In regards to knowing basics of an Object oriented language, I've been developing in Java for approximately 2 years now and have made numerous Bukkit plugins

I have recently decided to start modding, but I can't find out how to get started. I have my workspace setup, but I can't find any updated tutorials for 1.8 Everything is for practically 1.6. If anyone knows where some tutorials (preferrably text) are, or some Java Docs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Whenever I try and launch Forge 1.8 I get this error - http://pastebin.com/Lbx7Ravn

There needs to be an official tutorial on how to set it up if it's "stupidly simple"

I'm helping someone with a mod that they haven't updated to 1.7, the plan was for me to help update it, but I can't get forge to setup properly.

Hey guys, I'm trying to setup my eclipse environment to work with the latest 1.6.4 forge src, but whenever it starts to decompile I get this error at the end: Backing up server Download of minecraft_server.1.6.4.jar failed hash check, deleting abcf286a14f7aee82e8bf89270433509 ba3145656b1480122bd8759cecd7b7a1 Something failed verifying minecraft files, see log for details. Decompile Exception: 1 And if I go ahead and bring it into Eclipse like this the "src" file is empty
