I'm trying to learn how to mod, and thought I'd start with Forge.   Minecraft 1.3.2. MCP 7.2.  Forge 4.0.0.200.

Forge was extracted to MCP72/forge as per the instructions.

** Update: Same error on Forge 4.0.0.204 **

 

I'm getting an error on the install.cmd:

"Could not find Client jar, decompile requires both client and server."

It finds the minecraft_server.jar in my MCP72/jars directory, and backs it up. But the minecraft.jar client is in the same directory!

 

I know I'm missing something plain as day... could somebody help a brother?

Copy the entire bin folder of client to mcp/jars/bin so that client jar is at mcp/jars/bin/Minecraft.jar

That did it!  Mayhaps someone needs to update the instructions for those of us who have never modded before?

 

Thank you very much!

 

You mean the instructions that come with MCP, that have always come with MCP that detail how you should install minecraft into MCP?

Ya, they sure are confusing.
