A lot of people have recommended intelliJ over eclipse so I decided to try it out. I setup forge 1.11 for intelliJ and the example mod was working, but I deleted that package and created my own, just like I usually do in eclipse. But now java files I am writing in my new package don't recognise minecraft and forge methods, and also when i run the client, my mod is not listed under the "mods" tab. I wonder what did I mess up, considering the package is located in the same folder as the example mod was.

Fixed by re-running the project set-up procedure.
