Hello I`ve Been making a mod and im kinda new to modding and i would like to know how to make custom energy like Builcraft or IC2 or Thermal Expansion Because i`ve made a Furance and i would like to run it off of energy that you make by like engines or something

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                sincerely

Start small. If you're new to modding then that definitely isn't for you, but don't get to discouraged. Start by making things that seem more basic, and build your way up to that.

If you really want help, give that modder a thank you.

 

Modders LOVE thank yous.

Put another way:

 

I've been modding for a while and I would still not attempt an energy system.

 

Of course, what value does your own custom energy system that could not be achieved by either a) using IC2 b) using BC c) using Thermal Expansion or d) using Universal Electricity?

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.

Ok instead of new energy how would i make them use bc/ic2/te power i would think that would be easier then making a brand new energy system

Grab their API and start using it.

 

It makes your mod dependent on whichever one you choose, so choose wisely.

(There is nothing wrong with creating a mod for another mod, it will however influence the direction and theme of your own mod)

register to the energy tile events and use the interfaces

Well, you need to look for events and interfaces. Is that hard ?

[spoiler=Hint]

events are classes that typically extend net.minecraftforge.event.Event

interfaces are classes whose name typically start with I
