Mod APIs

[GenesisOfTheVoid]

Can someone explain how APIs work with Forge? All help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You have to get the API, place it somewhere in your src directory, so that it compiles alongside your mod, and link it up in eclipse.

It was a great explanation, but can you explain more clearly about the "linking". Do I import it as a existing project or something?

No just the source files of the API, notice that most Java API's you find are either a compiled JAR file or just source files that you can copy and reference to.

 

Java does not have project files.
