1) Don't yell. 2) I have no idea what you're talking about, you need to articulate your ideas better. If you're saying we should make a installer that installs all versions of Forge from a single application. No.

1.7 is no longer supported on this forum. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

You should NEVER use numeric ids for any registry objects. Use the proper item references.

You'll have to be more specific on what you think we changed to make the xbox app not detect Minecraft anymore. Because it does indeed detect it and run fine on my machine. I just assumed it did it for any full screen OpenGL/DirectX program it detected. Perhaps someone who knows rendering can double check.

1.12 is no longer supported on this forum. Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

the install process changed in 1.13+ The 'universal' jar is now in the libraries folder. And the 'unnamed' jar is what you run instead.

Forge's API will continue as it always has been. Reacting and adapting to Minecraft's changes. Forge is NOT an abstraction layer. We are changes and extensions of Vanilla's API/Features. When those features change, so do we. Also, remember that Minecraft's NOT designed with modding in mind. They do some things with us in the back of their mind but a lot of the time their changes fundamentally break what we do. Basically, When Vanilla breaks things, there isn't anything we can do about it.

Then something else is going on, because that's how what our installer does. https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Installer/blob/2.0/src/main/java/net/minecraftforge/installer/actions/ClientInstall.java#L165-L183 It finds a profile with the name "Forge", creating it if it doesn't exist. And only edits that profile.

You don't. That's the point. Minecraft should be treated as a library. You should write your mod in a way that doesn't break other things. If you can't do something then think about what you're doing and see if it'd be a good fit to include in Forge. As Forge is designed to fill in the gaps where vanilla api fails. Also, you don't need to edit GuiButton to have a "custom gui button" This is java.. you can extend the object and change whatever you want. To use those changes just use your subclass instead of vanilla's.

Do not buy any Minecraft Launcher. Anything that charges you money is either a scam or doing something horribly wrong. Use the vanilla launcher from Mojang. https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/get-minecraft/

We only edit ONE profile in the launcher, "Forge". We do not touch others. So if you want custom profile setups just use a different name.

That would be a menu option in your IDE... But honestly you don't need to do that. Just run `gradlew eclipse genEclipseRuns` then IN Eclipse Import -> Existing Project -> Select the root folder with build.gradle and all that. Done... Honestly if you can't figure out these basics when there are literally thousands of hand holding tutorials and videos out there. You're gunna have a hard time when it comes to actually writing code.

You looking at way outdated tutorials. I said read the readme that comes with the MDK. As for the eclipse folder, it's literally just any folder you want for your workspace. Stop relying on video tutorials and read the readme. Or you can just google 'How to load a gradle project in eclipse'

One command, that's documented with the readme and examples that comes with it, is hard to setup... Right.... Feel free to suggest how to make it even easier....

1) Update to a modern version 1.12 isn't supported. 2) We are not gunna make exe installers again for a few reasons. Namely windows throws up major warnings saying that anything that isnt signed by their whitelist is dangerous. And we have no way besides paying a unfeasible amount to get around that. And the exe never properly functioned how we wanted it to. So if someone can find solutions for that we may consider it. But the point of the exe installer was to lower our tech support issues. Which it hasn't, it just changed them to more agressive. Remember the jar works on every OS and the exe was just a wrapper to find java and run the jar.
