i have no idea where to post this, since it's a download, but it's not a functionnal mod, it's just a blank mod i wrote for myself with a bit more standard classes than the exampleMod packed with the forge source download.

basically this covers how i make the blank mod before i start doing any specifics, which is:

 

-Proxy package with both common and client proxy classes, both setup in the main mod file.

-Events package with an empty event handler class which is registered in the main mod file.

-Reference class where i store constants for mod ID, version, and proxy class locations.

-Main mod class with everything stated above registered, mod instance declared as "instance", all 3 init handlers (pre, init and post) and  comments telling what you should register where.

 

I hope this is for use to anyone who feels kinda lazy and doesnt wanna spend 20 or so minutes setting up the very basics of a mod package.

Note to people not knowing IDEs: refactor stuff, if you dont know what it is, look it up and do it.

In reference there is this code:

public static final String CLIENT_PROXY = "com.jokekid.proxy.ClientProxy";
public static final String COMMON_PROXY = "com.jokekid.proxy.CommonProxy";

 

which should be

 

public static final String CLIENT_PROXY = "com.jokekid.examplemod.proxy.ClientProxy";
public static final String COMMON_PROXY = "com.jokekid.examplemod.proxy.CommonProxy";
