Getting started for modding, 965/164

Posted February 23, 201411 yr

I would like help/a tutorial on getting started with modding in 164, for forge 965.

The tutorial on using forge gradle starts with this:

This tutorial assumes you have some previous knowledge of Minecraft modding and have gotten all the initial stuff done (PATH variables whatnot).

I have done nothing with modding before.

The last time I tried using Eclipse it was difficult (one giant window, with 6 sub windows, all displaying tiny text), and I couldn't even find a tutorial on "how to use Eclipse" -- and I've had people tell me that IntelliJ is better, and I've seen people with much more sensible window/subwindow setups in Eclipse. So I know that E can be made better than 6 tiny subwindows (but I don't know how, or what's a good choice), and I know that there's an alternative.

But that's the entire state of my minecraft modding exposure.

I've got a few decades of programming experience; I know java. I don't know forge / fml / gradle. I want to learn how to get started, and what will continue to be good practices into the future (assuming my next target will be 1.8 and skipping 1.7.)

Where do I start? How do I learn gradle if I've never done anything? Do I need to hunt down a 953 tutorial and start there, and then unlearn what I have learned?

Jeb! The sheep! The fence pens, they do nothing still leak!

Modding for 1.6.4 doesn't use the ForgeGradle system. Anyways, for good tutorials, check out Vswe's series.

if (user.hasKnowledgeOfJava) {

if (user.question.hasCode) {

return interpetHelpfulResponse(user.getQuestion());

} else {

return "Could you post your code please?";

}

} else {

return "Learn some freaking Java!";

}

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

That fixed it! it's still being weird and not actually printing anything to CMD but the logs look fine and eventually the gui generated looking normal. Thanks for your help I've done that on linux before but windows servers have always just worked with one click for some reason for me

Make sure you are using Java 17 JDK

In the start script, replace the word "java" with the java 17 path (javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks

NEED HELP ASAP - Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla

There are client-side-only mods in your server - start with removing justenoughbreeding

Hey there, I have a big modpack I'm trying to run that I've put together with two other rather large communities- we have a grand opening scheduled for next week so it's really important that this gets solved ASAP.

The game runs fine in singleplayer, but when trying to run as a server using a hosting website, I've run into quite a massive error log. I've whittled it down to this point- I'm currently not sure what to do, as I believe the main error is relating to the datapack message, but I don't know for sure. Removing the datapack folder doesn't change the message either.

If the fix is something very simple, I apologize. I'm not too experienced with hosting websites and running large modpacks like this on a server.
I'm also not completely sure of which mods are client-only- a large handful of which are already disabled but I could be missing some. I just don't know which ones they would be, if that's causing the issue.
