What is the best source for tutorials for 1.11?

Here is the official documentation of Forge, but it is rather incomplete. As far as I know, there's no central database of tutorial websites, so you just have to google a specific subject and hope there's a tutorial for it. But I hope you don't expect a tutorial about everything, as there isn't.

Yeah it's hard to find specific guides, and the docs leave a bit more to be desired. Maybe the modding community of the past never thought to write some guides for the future modders, but this game is getting kind of old too...maybe they are waiting for Minecraft 2?

I think its more that the people who know "all of the things" don't have the time to write a tutorial combined with the fact that updates are made so frequently as to out-date any tutorial in months, if not weeks.  But we do post our code publicly on github, providing a reference, although usually not well documented.

 

Then you have to consider the fact that a lot of new modders are people who barely know what programming is (the whole "I'm going to learn Java by modding!" outlook).

There's a list of modding tutorials for 1.9.x/1.10.x here, some of which have been updated to 1.11.

 

1.11 is still fairly similar to 1.10.2, but the main change is that

ItemStack

s can no longer be

null

(the default value is now the empty

ItemStack

, see

ItemStack#isEmpty

) and most fields of

ItemStack

that were public are now private with public getters/setters. Because

ItemStack

s can no longer be

null

, anywhere that used a

List<ItemStack>

or

ItemStack[]

should now use a

NonNullList<ItemStack>

.

 

Edit: I forgot that this site doesn't use Markdown.

McJty's tutorials made me slap myself in the face. Thanks Choonster!
