So i wanted to start making Minecraft Forge mods... I followed 4 different tutorials to setting up my enironment, along with VARIOUS other things including asking people... etc....

 

 

Anyway, for whatever reason, following the tutorials EXACTLY, where they have working mods, my mods, which are just empty class files right now *including @mod, and all of that* are skipped over. Here is the stacktrace to it: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6663c6724123d5254699

 

I just don't understand why MY system won't run or scan my mods in properly...

It seems there is something terribly wrong with your Java SDK installation. Reinstall.

 

Why did you follow 4 tutorials? What went wrong in the first three?

 

Did

gradlew setupDevWorkspace

report any issues when you set up your workspace?

4 tutorials because i was getting this error, and i just thought i was doing it wrong. Do i need 32 over 64bit, or does that even matter? And gradlew gave no errors

It shouldn't matter in this case whether you use 32bit or 64bit, but we live in 2014 so why not go with 64bit?

i am already using 64bit

What version of Minecraft/Forge are you using?

 

Uninstall and reinstall your Java SDK, then try following the README.txt supplied with Forge.

 

Let us know of any issues after that

Fresh install of jdk 8u5...

redownloaded Forge

Reran gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

Reran gradlew idea

 

Still erroring: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/80310243ec958ef8ff3f

 

======================================================

 

For reference, my gradlew output

So i downloaded java 7 and set the JDK to 7, is there anything i have to do or should that cover it?

 

I'm using IntelliJ 13.1.2

 

Now i get this error:

I completely uninstalled Java before even posting that error. I have JDK 1.7.0_60 and JRE7 installed. That's 100% it.
