Hi,

 

I've just finished my mod for 1.7.2 and followed ScratchForFun's tutorial on exporting it (using gradlew build), but after putting the .jar file into my mods folder in my .minecraft folder, and launching my forge 1.7.2 profile, it will not register it as a mod, it won't show up on the mods screen on the title page and none of my mod's item/blocks are in the game. I believe this is something to do with the way my src folders are set up in my workspace, but you can judge for your self with this video showing you my folder setup and what happens when I export my mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgfzS4B8iZg

 

Thanks for helping!!

For practice you could go and setup forge in a different location from scratch and try to compile and load the example mod that comes with it.

Your folder setup is a bit weird.

When you download the forge src distribution, you get a pre-made src/main/java and a src/main/resources.

Your stuff must go directly in there, nowhere else.

 

I tried that, and even made a clean install of forge in a new workspace but the same thing still happens, any ideas?

Didn't click on your link to see if you were planning on multiple mods, but I highly recommend the multiple mod seperate project setup.  I recently made that change and it makes updating, building, and testing so much easier.

You should post a description of your exact folder layout (not within eclipse).

 

After following your previous instructions my folder path for all my code is C:\Users\User\Documents\Mods\Dan's Misc Mod 1.7.2\forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.1024-src\src\main\java

and the folder path for my all assets and mcmod.info file is: C:\Users\User\Documents\Mods\Dan's Misc Mod 1.7.2\forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.1024-src\src\main\resources

 

Hope this helps!

First of all try updating forge, your version is quite old.

Also... This should work...

 

I've updated to the latest recommended version (10.12.1.1060) but still nothing unfortunately. Any more ideas?

First the extra path you have on src/main/java is not needed so kill that folder your code should go into /src/main/java/{package} nothing else.

Second, we need your log file so we can see what forge is doing, seriously, logs.

But it looks to me like you've derped up the build file somehow
