[1.8] Setting up CCC and NEI

[tiffit]

This guide is to help you install NEI (Not enough items) and CCC (CodeChickenCore) into your workspace.

 

1. Download CCC and NEI

You will need to download CCC and NEI to use them. Download them by going to this link. You will need the dev version for both CCC and NEI.

 

2. Place CCC and NEI

Now, since you have NEI and CCC downloaded, place them in your eclipse/mods folder.

 

3. Run MC

Now that you have the mods installed, simply run minecraft.

 

4. MCP Config Dir

If you have everything correctly, a window should popup saying "Select an mcp conf dir for the deobfuscator"

If this comes up, download this file. Unzip the file and direct the selection window to that file.

You should now have CCC and NEI installed.

 

 

If you have any questions, feel free ask them and I will try to respond as quick as I can.

2. Place CCC and NEI

Now, since you have NEI and CCC downloaded, place them in your eclipse/mods folder.

 

Please don't use the mods folder... The libs folder is there for a reason.

 

I'd do it like this:

• Place the jars into the libs/ folder
  
• rerun

  gradlew setupDecompWorkspace

  (or

  gradlew setupDevWorkspace

  if you don't want the MC source). It'll automatically add the jars inside the libs/ folder as libraries.
  

 

4. MCP Config Dir

If you have everything correctly, a window should popup saying "Select an mcp conf dir for the deobfuscator"

If this comes up, download this file. Unzip the file and direct the selection window to that file.

You should now have CCC and NEI installed.

 

No need to download anything... If you've set up ForgeGradle correctly, the conf dir is

C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\.gradle\caches\minecraft\net\minecraftforge\forge\[YOUR_FORGE_VERSION]\unpacked\conf

(Windows path, other OS may differ)

 

PS:

If you're feeling really fancy and know your way around the build.gradle script, add CCC and NEI as dependencies:

https://github.com/SanAndreasP/TurretModRebirth/blob/master/build.gradle#L25-L27

https://github.com/SanAndreasP/TurretModRebirth/blob/master/build.gradle#L83-L85

 

and rerun the gradlew setupDecomp/DevWorkspace command with the --refresh-dependencies parameter, like

gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies

 

... effectively skipping Step 1 and 2.

 

PPS:

A nice fact about CCC: It automatically decompiles any mod dropped inside the libs/ (or mods/) folder, very useful if you want to do compatibility stuff for a mod and you don't have any source for it available.

Why add them as dependencies in the

buildscript

block? Isn't that only for the build script's dependencies?

I always thought it is needed for

gradlew build

, for if you actively reference the classes inside those libs!?

[SanAndreaP]

The buildscript-dependencies are for stuff that you need inside the build.gradle

 

Ooh, so adding CCC and NEI to the buildscript-dependencies is completely useless... The more you know

[EnemyViolent]

Is there a good place to put those lines if outside the buildscript-dependencies block? Just at the end of the script?

The unpacked folder no longer exists.  What should I do then?

Recent versions of ForgeGradle put the MCP mappings in ~/.gradle/caches/minecraft/de/oceanlabs/mcp/<mappings_type>/<mappings_version> (replace ~ with %USERPROFILE on Windows).

[xilef11]

That folder seems to contain the .csv files needed, but CCC complains about some missing .srg files I can't find (packaged.srg or joined.srg)

[Choonster]

If you update CodeChickenLib to 1.1.2.132 or newer and CodeChickenCore to 1.0.5.36, they should use the paths provided by ForgeGradle itself to find MCP mappings.
