After reading lots of code and googling minecraft forge events I managed to subscribe to an event in a generic custom event handler class that I wrote. I built and ran my code and got eclipse to stop at my breakpoint. I think that it even does what I want it to do. (I did figure out that onLivingUpdate was probably to high up the stack for my purpose and found a hook much closer to the behavior that I wanted to override.) Many thanks!

I have created a class that inherits from the vanilla entity and overrides a protected method to implement some sample overriden behavior. Now my question is how do I tell the game engine to use my inherited entity instead of the original entity (without modifying the vanilla files of course!)? I am assuming that this kind of change is supported I guess.

That sounds excellent! I don't suppose there are any links out there that demonstrate using minecraft forge hooks to modify vanilla minecraft entities... From my point of view I am not looking for anything very specific to start with. I think it could help me if I could see a sample or something of someone modifying any aspect of a vanilla entity. Basically I know that I know nothing about this tool and I am looking for a place to start learning.

Ok, thank you for that information I was confused when the vanilla minecraft classes were not included in the project. I would still like to override some vanilla entity behavior... Or is this the wrong tool for that? Do I create a subclass of the vanilla class I want to modify and override the original functionality there, and then somehow replace the original entity with my inheritied entity?

Hi, I am new here and would like some basic modding information. I have managed to setup minecraft forge for 1.7.10 on my machine using Eclipse 4.4.2 and forge 10.13.2.1291. I am able to start reading and debugging the vanilla minecraft code (yeah!) I have already made a change to one of the vanilla minecraft classes and would like to recompile and test my change. I have tried Build All from the project menu but when I start debugging, the code reads the same as before my change. Could you please provide the proper steps to change and debug vanilla minecraft classes please? Thank you in advance!
