[HELP ME] Mod creation - Lack of knowledge

[Gaminator]

Hello everyone !

It's been a few weeks that I started creating a mod but I'm having some troubles right now..

I'm running Forge in 1.7.10 because "they" said it's much more easier for beginners.

I created a basic mod but didn't really understand what I was doing there.. I just copied/pasted what I was seeing at that time. I don't like that, I want to understand, create things by myself !

So I looked up for Java/Forge tutorials and just learned some basic stuff.. But I'm getting troubles with Proxys, events and advanced stuff

Si I wanted to know if you guys know some great tutorials that explain things well 

Also, I finally created my first slab and would like to create stairs but I can't find any useful codes in the referenced libraries, can you guys help me ?

Thanks a lot ! 

PS: If you want to explain something in Java please don't use complicated words, like I said I'm a very new beginner

1.7.10 really isn't that much "easier" to mod for than 1.8 is. It's just different and some people didn't like some of the changes in 1.8 and stayed on 1.7.10. Good on you for actually trying to learn rather than copying a pasting, however it is extremely helpful to be a bit more familiar with java before trying to create a mod. That said, there are plenty of tutorials online that do a great job explaining what you want. A quick google search for forge events or proxies should be enough to get the basics down. You can also get some examples and see how other people are doing things by looking at mods on Github. As for the stair, take a look at BlockStairs.

Thanks a lot, I'll try these tutorials 

But for the BlockStairs class I peeked a little bit on it and didn't find anything interesting.. Or for what I could understand 

Sorry if I make errors, english isn't my primary language

Well, I found that :

 

public class BlockStairs extends Block

{

    private static final int[][] field_150150_a = new int[][] {{2, 6}, {3, 7}, {2, 3}, {6, 7}, {0, 4}, {1, 5}, {0, 1}, {4, 5}};

    private final Block field_150149_b;

    private final int field_150151_M;

    private boolean field_150152_N;

    private int field_150153_O;

    private static final String __OBFID = "CL_00000314";

 

Which I believe sets the block bounds.. But I don't know what to put instead of "field_150149_b" and so on .. Can someone help me ?

Unrelated, please do not center your posts.  It's annoying as fuck to read.

 

Thanks.
