bjandrus Posted March 5, 2023 Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I am attempting to get started modding Minecraft and am following the steps listed in the documentation here. The problem is during step 2: Obtain the Mod Development Kit (MDK) from Forge. When I start the installer, it asks me what App I want to use to open the .jar file with (?). If I select either "Java Platform SE" or "OpenJDK Platform", it will ask me where to extract the files to, however after extracting none of the files are present in the folder I selected; even though it tells me extraction was successful. Alternatively, if I select to open the file in IntelliJ, it won't even ask me where I want to extract the files to but immediately fails instead; giving the error: "Forge installer is unsupported". What gives? Specs: OS: Windows 11 version 22H2 IDE: IntelliJ IDEA Community version 2022.2 Java: JDK version 17.0.5 I really am hoping this is a technical issue; though I have a sinking feeling that the reason may be because I'm not allowed to develop this type of thing for free. Please tell me these issues aren't because I'm required to pay a subscription fee to Oracle for a developer license and/or pay for IntelliJ Ultimate... UPDATE: Ticket closed. Many thanks @gorberto. Indeed the documentation could certainly be clearer about that...though I kinda hoped I had gotten somewhat fluent in documentese by now lol Edited March 9, 2023 by bjandrus Issue resolved Quote
gorberto Posted March 6, 2023 Posted March 6, 2023 The documentation could be clearer. You're supposed to click on the Mdk button (bottom button to the right of the installer button). This will download a zipped directory containing the source code to get started. 1 Quote
