Quick question on Making Tools

I am using most up to date MC and Forge. With Eclipse and everything is working fine when I made a custom sword with nothing fancy, just using custom ingots to make a sword more powerful then a diamond sword. Amazing mod right? lol

 

My question is when I was reading/watching tutorials on all tool sets, some people said to edit the EnumToolMaterial.java within the source of minecraft. Another person said it is bad to edit the original minecraft files, it can cause issues with other peoples mod.

 

Which is correct? can I simply edit the EnumToolMaterial class/enum to add in another line after GOLD? or should I make a "copy" of EnumToolMaterial(and simply add a "2" at the end) and redirect things to that? (even making for example "ItemSword2" class)

 

Both ways worked, with no errors, but of course, I dont want to start modding mincraft with the practice of editting minecraft files when I shouldn't

 

Any insight would be cool :)
