I followed the guide here: http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php?topic=21354.0 to set up IntelliJ to make a mod however when I run my mod using the "Minecraft Client" run configuration, in the Mods menu in Minecraft the version just reads $(version) as if it isn't being filled the the version from the build.gradle .

 

mcmod.info: http://pastebin.com/jbQE1dHR

 

build.gradle: http://pastebin.com/fYtXQ88N

 

When I run using the Minecraft Client run configuration, the mods menu looks like this (The version in brackets I assume comes from the @Mod annotation): http://s19.postimg.org/opn5ttwoj/Minecraft_mods_menu.jpg[/img]

The version property is only replaced when building your mod, so in eclipse it is still the

${version}

.

So when I choose the build gradle task it will be replaced with the correct version from build.gradle?

 

On a side note, is there any way to synchronise this between the version specified with the @Mod annotation?

Yes, when using

gradlew build

it will replace the

${version}

.

 

And you can leave the

@Mod

version empty, so it will fallback to the

mcmod.info

version.

Brilliant, thanks very much!
