Posted October 25, 201410 yr With Forge, am I making plugins or mods ? Bukkit was allowing me to make plugins. Forge 1.6.4 allowed to change the original source code and so my impression that these were mods. Now with Forge 1.7.10, separate files are created that sits on the top of the existing source code. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Mods/Creating_mods does not use the plugin terminology. Are thees plugins or mods ? What is the correct terminology ?
October 25, 201410 yr You are still making mods with Forge, but you can't modify the vanilla minecraft source code. Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support. 1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus. 1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support. http://www.howoldisminecraft1710.today/
October 25, 201410 yr Author Isn't mod implicitly means modifying vanilla Minecraft source code ? This is counter intuitive otherwise.
October 25, 201410 yr Author Yes, that's how I understand as well. So help me understand the difference between mods and plugins then ?
October 25, 201410 yr Plugins are mods, and forge mods are plugins. The difference between FML mods and Bukkit plugins is that FML mods can access the Minecraft source code. Check out my mod, Realms of Chaos, here. If I helped you, be sure to press the "Thank You" button!
October 26, 201410 yr In context of Forge, what is the right terminology ? Mods or Plugins ? Mods. To be honest I don't think most people will really care much -TGG
