Hey there, thanks for the feedback. Well, yes, I downloaded the source files from the page you linked here. I have followed the basic tutorial in the wiki of this page. I started with the recommended build of 1.7.2. When executing gradle I had the problem that he couldn't fetch some data from Maven and completely failed. I tried some things I found in some forums and finally I tried an older release of 1.7.2 and it worked. I followed the tutorial linked in the wiki here and realised that it is for 1.6.2 and that most things will not work in 1.7.2. After that I tried to install an older version of the forge source, but that also failed due to some failed hash checks (but I saw that this seems to be a known bug due to some changes on mojangs side or so) So, I got back to 1.7.2 and tried the other series from the guy which was about 1.7. But even in that tutorial I saw that things are different and things didn't work, so I assume they have changed... Regarding the deobfuscated code. I had hoped that I have done something wrong. But the release I used (forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.987), I executed gradle and everything was fine. Everything was build, I got no error messages, I can start MC from Eclipse and so on. I wouldn't know what to do different. Maybe this version doesn't work properly... =) My Java environment should not be the problem, everything is fresh installed from the ground up, path and java home variables set, so there should be no problem here. Tomorrow I will start again with a new environment of forge with the recommended 1.7.2 source (or another version you recommend) and post the problems I encounter. I really hope that it is not that bad as I learned it until now. Thanks =)

Well, not exactly a thread where I cry for help to a specific problem, but I have started Minecraft modding yesterday (I develop Java since a few years) and I have to say my respect for all minecraft modders has grown a mighty bit =) I have done a few tutorials, after I finally found a forge source version which hasn't run into any error messages right from the start, and I realised the code isn't that hard. What really bugs me is the fact the even the simplest bits of code seem to change in every tiny minor release and I have to do the same things different (because things don't work the way like I see them in the tutorials) and that the referenced Minecraft code is all obfuscated. If you look for something on google you have to hope that your problem is adressed in the right version on any forums. How do you manage to keep track of all those changes and find out what you have to use in this jungle of ever changing, obfuscated code? In those two days in which I started learning this, the idea of making my own MC mods and even keep them up to date for the varying releases has become rather unpleasent. It seems to me that I would have to re-develop my mods for every single release there is. I knew there are some problems in the code which keep the modders from releasing their mods for the current versions, but I didn't expect something like this. =) Maybe you have a few tips for me on how to start and face those problems, if not, I think the MC mod development is something I'd rather not try for myself =) Thanks in advance =)
