Doobie

So I am a programmer. I am new to mine-craft modding and ive been asking a ton of questions. Im a senior in CIS - Programming. I am looking to get better at java. There are some mods I want to pull into 1.10.2. I could probably write them from scratch but that seems kinda pointless. Is there a way I can get the mods in my mod folder into an IDE so I can see the source code. Do i have to decompile the jars in my mods folder or something?

But is 1.7 and 1.8 supported?

I gotcha, well is there any mods packs you recommend that I can run the latest version of minecraft that isnt just plain vanilla? My friend loves Tekkit, which is the only reason I threw a 1.6.4 server up. I would gladly run a 1.10.2 but I dont want plain vanilla.

Well my buddy knows way more then I do about Minecraft and he said he really wanted to play Tekkit. which is 1.6.4. So I got us a server running on that Mod. But that is the only reason. Ideally I would like to be running on the very latest because that is just easier but I dont want to start at vanilla. Any popular mod packs for 1.10.2 you reccommend?

Gotcha, but isnt this for 1.6.4? http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.6.4.html

What is the supported forge mods I should be using is 1.6.4 is not modifiable anymore. And how come it is not modible. Im confused because you can still get the forge mod pack from http://files.minecraftforge.net/? So my question is what versions can I mod if not 1.64? And I may be terrible at searching but where can I see what versions are supported for modding?

Hey I am new to the modding scene, just downloaded Tekkit. I dont want to start building stuff inside if I cant add my own mods to it down the line. Here is my folder structure, can I add mods to this down the line or is it not possible? I imagine I can just add my mod to the mods folder? Also what do I need to add my mod to this? http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.6.4.html + and IDE and im good to go correct?

Fixed thanks! Just started modding, my fault!

For some reason I am not getting a message when I break a block.
