Creating Minecraft mods is very rewarding and fun, but the learning curve is very steep. I wanted to create a way for beginning programmers to be able to experience creating Minecraft mods without having to know Java programming. You might be familiar with Scratch – a graphical programming environment often used to teach programming to kids. (See http://scratch.mit.edu). I had used Scratch before, and I was thinking that a similar environment, but for creating Minecraft mods, would be very interesting.

 

Well, after a lot of coding, I’ve created ScratchForge, which integrates a Scratch-like, graphical, drag-and-drop programming environment, with Minecraft Forge. Users can choose from a large number of elements to create custom blocks, items, commands, entities, recipes, and react to Minecraft events. Here is a simple example of creating a custom block named “Thor” that strikes lightning when you right click it.

Currently ScratchForge works only on Windows computers; if there is interest and I have time I hope to create a Mac compatible version also.

If you want to try it, please go to the project web site at http://scratchforge.golde.org/ and download the installer.

I’m excited for people to try it out and tell me what you think. Please reply here with feedback, or click “Help” on the web site and click “Send me feedback”.

I second that request for a Mac version.  I have a 13-year-old son who would love this.  It sounds absolutely fantastic!  But we are a Mac household.

 

So please please please keep up the great work!  :D

Wow! An adult on the Forums, modding with Forge! That's amazing. I'm only 16 years of age :P but I'm pretty good at modding, I'm still learning the Forge API, and getting used to things.

 

But you should teach your son how to actually program with Java and make mods for himself with the Forge API :)

    • When I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2018, I was skeptical. The idea of a decentralized, digital currency seemed too good to be true. But I was intrigued as I learned more about the technology behind it and its potential. I started small, investing just a few hundred dollars, dipping my toes into the cryptocurrency waters. At first, it was exhilarating to watch the value of my investment grow exponentially. I felt like I was part of the future, an early adopter of this revolutionary new asset. But that euphoria was short-lived. One day, I logged into my digital wallet only to find it empty - my Bitcoin had vanished without a trace. It turned out that the online exchange I had trusted had been hacked, and my funds were stolen. I was devastated, both financially and emotionally. All the potential I had seen in Bitcoin was tainted by the harsh reality that with decentralization came a lack of regulation and oversight. My hard-earned money was gone, lost to the ether of the digital world. This experience taught me a painful lesson about the price of trust in the uncharted territory of cryptocurrency. While the technology holds incredible promise, the risks can be catastrophic if you don't approach it with extreme caution. My Bitcoin investment gamble had failed, and I was left to pick up the pieces, wiser but poorer for having placed my faith in the wrong hands. My sincere appreciation goes to MUYERN TRUST HACKER. You are my hero in recovering my lost funds. Send a direct m a i l ( muyerntrusted ( @ ) mail-me ( . )c o m ) or message on whats app : + 1 ( 4-4-0 ) ( 3 -3 -5 ) ( 0-2-0-5 )
    • You could try posting a log (if there is no log at all, it may be the launcher you are using, the FAQ may have info on how to enable the log) as described in the FAQ, however this will probably need to be reported to/remedied by the mod author.
    • So me and a couple of friends are playing with a shitpost mod pack and one of the mods in the pack is corail tombstone and for some reason there is a problem with it, where on death to fire the player will get kicked out of the server and the tombstone will not spawn basically deleting an entire inventory, it doesn't matter what type of fire it is, whether it's from vanilla fire/lava, or from modded fire like ice&fire/lycanites and it's common enough to where everyone on the server has experienced at least once or twice and it doesn't give any crash log. a solution to this would be much appreciated thank you!
    • It is 1.12.2 - I have no idea if there is a 1.12 pack
