Need someone to teach me forge api

[TrollTaylor]

Hello im looking for someone to teach me some of the forge api i know the basics like making a mob , items , blocks ect and i know most of the bukkit api.

[Busti]

Is there something specific you want to know about?

[TrollTaylor]

I did wanna know how to randomly generate structures with a schematic file

[Mazetar]

Well that wouldn't exactly be anything specifically to forge then

 

I assume you know how to parse XML files and preform basic IO operations on a text file?

You could learn how to parse the schematic files yourself.

Which isn't that hard. They are saved in the NBT format:  http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Schematic_file_format

Normally you parse the contents of the file into an 3Darray of blockIDs and use that to generate.

 

Or you can use some other guys API for it, I'd recommend looking into TehBeards LibSchematic api. It's not finished yet but it's working and you can get it from his github

You could also check out CoolAlias structure generation tool here, although it's not about schematics: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1963371-structure-generation-and-rotation-tool/

First, I would recommend learning Java basics before delving into APIs.

Second, I would read the tutorials associated with the Forge API basics.

Third, I would read the Javadocs for the Forge API.

Fourth, I would look on GitHub for open-source mods that include Forge integration for insight.

Lastly, I would begin coding, having drawn all of the above mentioned details.

Well First watch the following to learn Java: http://thenewboston.org/list.php?cat=31

 

That helped me ALLOT!

 

After you think you know the basics. I recommend the following modding series. because they are short, and short: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrnh7I7rzm5zvPDCW6eGWhTVQh3BPh2bu
