Hello. I've been coding mods using Forge for such a while, and I have decided to try to contribute to it. I have setup my workspace according to the Wiki and the video cpw has made, and did many changes to Forge and added many other things. I have tested it and it went well. Eventually, I wanted to build it. I tried running gradlew build. It says BUILD SUCCESSFUL, when I go to build/distributions I find the forge installer. Assuming this is the one that contains the changes I made, I ran it and when I launched Minecraft with it I found no changes at all made to Minecraft. 

 

Just asking, is there another way that I'm supposed to build Forge with? 

Thanks in advance

Yours sincerly, Spooper

 

p.s: I'm not sure if this is the correct section to ask for this type of things, please let me know if another section would fit better.

Did you generate the patches before building? Also please note that you should not distribute this installer in any way nor use it to actually play the game. Use it for debugging only, in which case I have to wonder why running the game from within the development environment is not enough.

I think I did generate the patches (don't really remember), but I'll check again. Also a few reasons why I didn't run from the IDE is my computer is pretty slow to handle both minecraft and intellij idea. Also a few other reasons I really don't wish to mention. I'll gen patches again and report back. Thanks
