Sorry but i'm very new to modding and java in general so i might sound kinda stupid and i might have made a stupid mistake, please forgive me.

 

So im trying to get my mcp workspace setup so i cant start creating some simple mods for practice then eventually make something bigger, i'm having trouble with just the setup ._. i have java JDK installed (with environment variables) and i have java 7 installed, i've also got eclipse and im trying to make a mod for 1.6.4 as i would assume it would be more stable. So first thing i do is extract the recommended 1.6.4 version of forge src and i put it in a new folder. The next thing i do is run the install batch file which then starts installing mcp and fixing it etc. Once that was done i then went opened eclipse and ran it through the eclipse folder in mcp just to check. the src was empty and it had nothing so then i decompile the mcp folder which put all the regular minecraft packages and classes into the mcp/src folder. now i open eclipse the same way i mentioned before and now i have all the net.minecraft....... classes and packages. But since i have watched a few tutorials on how to do this, when they do the same thing i did, they get these forge packages called cpw.mods.fml...... and the net.minecraft packages. It seems it doesn't matter what i do, i do the exact same thing as them but i get a different outcome. The problem is i need these packages to be able to import my mod into, but i don't know what i've done wrong.

 

If someone could help out this silly boy that would be awesome thanks in advance.

poking an old topic but....

 

dont tell the guy not to make mods for 1.6.4, thats not support.

 

i run a server on MC 1.6.4 and i would like to make a few addons to fix a few of the issues we are having.

 

but the src forge has no src..... kinda defeats the object dont it?

 

anywere i can get the src? this is my first try at minecraft modding and working with java.

 

have played with html and LUA scripting but want to get into bigger programming applications

The last (four?) Forge src for 1.6.4 should use the Gradle system and still be usable.  Farther back than that and you have to work really hard to download the secondary files, as the servers used changed.

The "src forge" absolutely does contain source. I just downloaded the 1.6.4 just now to see. It does not, however, contain minecraft's source code (in case that's what you're asking about) as distributing that is illegal.

 

As far as I know you can use ForgeGradle to set up a development environment for 1.6.4 (1.6.2 is the earliest supported version I believe) if you absolutely must for whatever reason. Just set the version you are targeting in the build.gradle file.

 

I would implore you to update your server and target newest builds, but I see you are a necromancer and enjoy playing with dead things.
