Posted December 31, 201311 yr i was told by the man himself one night on irc that one of the cool features of gradle is you change one file and run gradle and it will update itself to that version of forge with out effecting the src files you have created making your mod however i cant renember how this witchcraft is achived! so i ask you, i have gradle for forge 1.7.2 (it doesnt seem to exist for 1.6.4 anymore! which is a shame as i could of started to use it then updated but oh well) build 976, i see that forge 1.7.2 build 977, now i know in practice you wouldnt just jump to the next version of forge just because its there but im trying to work out how to update it so this is a good test... so yeah what do i do or type to have my gradle update itself from mc 1.7.2 forge 976 to mc 1.7.2 forge 977 on a side note will it be the same to update it from say mc 1.7.2 forge 977 to 1.7.4 forge xxx when forge actually updates to current mc?

December 31, 201311 yr Author minecraft { version = "mcver-forgever" assetDir = "rundir/assets" } Change forgever to update forge, change mcver to update minecraft thanks for the reply but still a bit hazy on the details what file is that in? (im kind of opening files to look at mo but no wiser) do just run gradlew.bat setupDecompWorkspace then gradlew.bat eclipse after i change the file or is there a different command?
December 31, 201311 yr That's in your build.gradle, just rerun gradle eclipse. Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE!

January 1, 201411 yr Author Thank you. it was a bit different on mine minecraft { version = "1.7.2-10.12.0.976" i changed that to minecraft { version = "1.7.2-10.12.0.977" and ran "gradlew.bat eclipse" it worked a treat, so we just need to know what the magic numbers are each update, for most its going to be simple up the number to what ever the recommanded for other times we may need to request what the numbers are. im not a fan of this new method, it was a lot easier to just replace the forge folder and re-run install but im sure i will get used to it with time.
January 1, 201411 yr Why would you need to request anything? it's not magic numbers.. it's the version of Forge... http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?action=files That page lists all builds. I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
January 3, 201411 yr Is there any way of getting a notification when Forge has a new update? Do Lex say this on Twitter? Don't mess it up like I did!
January 3, 201411 yr No, check files manually yourself. Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE! This isn't building better software, its trying to grab a place in the commit list of a highly visible github project. www.forgeessentials.com Don't PM me, I don't check this account unless I have to.
January 3, 201411 yr Is there any way of getting a notification when Forge has a new update? Do Lex say this on Twitter? yeh I think they recently added a message on the main menu if there is an update for forge & if its not recent then ive never noticed it before
