[1.7.10] Using another mod's API

[M4thG33k]

Greetings! I know I've asked a similar question to this before (but the solution for that one didn't translate here).

 

I'm lacking the basic knowledge as to where you put another mod's API in order to access it and use it in your own code. For example, using NEI, things I've tried:

 

• putting the codechicken/nei/api folder in my src/main/java folder
  
• putting the entire NEI.jar inside my libs folder
  

 

In both cases, I ran gradlew setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies, but to no avail. In the first case, the codechicken/nei/api folder in IntelliJ had no code, even though opening the location with the explorer showed all the code was there. There are other API's I would like to use (for redstone flux, etc), but I would like to get the basic concept down before attempting more than one API. As usual, thanks in advance!

I don't know what happened with your apis, but normally they are installed:

1) If api is folder - drop it in src/api/java

2) If api is jar - (as far as i am doing it) link it in eclipse

For me it's all i have to do (excluding ATs)...

So, I've tried dropping the NEI API folder into the src/api/java directory, but none of the files are appearing in IntelliJ. (Picture linked below.) Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

I've also tried placing NEI's jar file in the libs directory (with extrautilites and waila from my previous screenshot), but I still could not access the API.

I thought so? Maybe I don't understand what you mean when you say "refresh"...

That sneaky sidebar  That cleared everything up! Thanks for dealing with my easy problems.

I guess things aren't tip-top shape, yet. Now when I attempt to run the program it crashes before even launching the MC window. Pastebin to the log: http://pastebin.com/AArhgP0i

 

Any ideas why this could be?

You need to have CodeChickenCore to make NEI work.

I have it in my Eclipse/mods folder...do I need in libs/ instead? EDIT: Tried that, didn't fix anything, even after reloading the project.

 

New Edit: Found the issue. I needed to move both CCC and CCL into the /libs/ folder.
