[any version] how do i get a shared ide with my friend for minecraft modding?

[DireWand]

I'm trying to get a shared ide with my friend just like a modding team but i don`t know how. so i searched the web but i can't find anything that let us do that with eclipse. So my question is. Can anyone help us to get this to work?

 

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't exist.

 

Instead, create a GitHub project for the mod and let your friend fork it.

 

Modding teams don't all work in "one" IDE instance. They all work in individual instances, each taking one part of the work they're best at, and ultimately combining their efforts together via GitHub or something else.

 

The idea of working in one IDE doesn't exist as your individual session IDs would make it impossible.

@swordkorn I have to disagree on that one. There are plenty of applications supporting real-time-collaboration.

after less than a minute of googling I came accross this.

@DireWand maybe you'll find something in this link, otherwise google is your friend, Im sure you'll find something suitable for your needs.

If any of those can handle Forge mod developing They'll have my attention.

 

Good catch @N247S.

 

In terms of Eclipse though, no. You won't be able to.

I think there wont be an automatic workspace installation like on Eclipse and IDEA . but if you can do it manually you are good to go.

The easiest way in my opinion is trough a source code control software a popular one with forge modders is Git using GitHub as a remote repository.

 

There's thousands of videos on youtube explaining how it works.
