Posted November 11, 201311 yr Hello, i'm starting to learn how to mod, and i'd like to know if it is possible to, for example, install forge for 1.6.4 and have the mod work with 1.5.2 ; Or i need to have for each minecraft version, an different(lets say,->) eclipse environment dev? Degree in computer's engineering, hobbyist at electronics, programming. Likes Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Technology, Futurist themes
November 11, 201311 yr No. 1.5.2 is so far different than 1.6.4 that you will not be able to effectively create mods for 1.5.2 You can set up separate workspaces for a single installation of Eclipse, though the one time I tried to do it, it blew up in my face. Eclipse is so small I don't mind keeping four or five copies for each different version of Minecraft I'm working with, with repositories of the mod code kept on Dropbox (just copy back and forth when I switch mods). Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
November 11, 201311 yr Ummm... Draco? You don't have to install eclipse again to use a different workspace! No, I don't, I know that. I do, however, like being able to run Eclipse and have it already in the workspace I want to use. But I'm not worried about saving 2-400 MB of hard drive space on a 500 GB 1 TB drive.* I've set myself up in a way that is convenient for me. *Literally 0.03%. Not worth the time lost by using a single install and the File->Switch Workspace option.
