What are all of the gradle cached minecraft jars?

[hughbe]

Hi,

I was looking at the minecraft source code which has been cached by gradle/forge to this location: C:/Users/<username>/.gradle/caches/minecraft/net/minecraftforge/<forge-version>/

 

I noticed that there are lots of similar files with (seemingly) few differences apart from the name. So I kindly ask for clarification as to what each of the following files mean and which one I should use to browse the minecraft source code most efficiently.

 

These jars are:

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964.jar

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-decomp

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-fmled

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-fmlinjected

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-mcp

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-mcped

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-src

forge-1.6.4-9.11.1.964-srg (what's srg!)

 

Thanks!

{no-classifier}: Base jar

decomp: Decompiled code, post cleanup but pre patches/injection

fmled: fml injected/patches

fmlinjected: added fml code

mcp: binary in mcp names

mcped: ... shouldnt exist... may be old version that is dea

src: Source for recomped includes fml patches, forge patches and fml/forge code in MCP names

srg: the binary classes in srg form {unique identifiers}

 

There are others, but they are essentially the same stuff, just various stages of being ready for you as a modder to use.
