I am brand new modding Minecraft but not new at all to java development.  However, I must be missing something in how to get started.  I downloaded the Forge installer and the forge MDK.  I started reading what little doco it has on how to mod a few things.  But NOWHERE does it explain what the game's existing structure is.  Nowhere am I finding existing code to view so I can begin to understand how to mod anything.  Am I missing a download somewhere?  We get to to see the de-obfuscated source somehow right???

 

Thanks.

The source is in the forgeSrc package you can browse using your IDE, under external libraries.

Reminder: You are not allowed to distribute this package.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Sorry, I am not finding this folder anywhere.  I downloaded the windows installer of forge.  It create some files and folder in in my .minecraft folder.  It also added the Forge profile that I can see in the launcher.  The MDK file was a zip file.  All I got in there is an examplemod.java file.  That's it.

 

As far as IDEs go, I intend to use IntelliJ but I didn't open it yet.  Will it somehow auto-download this folder?

You read these docs, correct?

Ugh, my bad.  No.  I didn't do it until now.  I have tons of experience in using Maven to build projects but ZERO experience with gradle.  I didn't realize these commands will do the downloading.  Thanks.

Ok, I think I got the source now.  I see it in forgeSource.jar under

net.minecraft.

 

Please let me know if that is not correct.  And YES, I intend only to view it to learn how to mod, never will I copy it. 

 

One last question, my IntelliJ is complaining with this error:

 

Unindexed remote maven repositories found. Disable...
                    The following repositories used in your gradle projects were not indexed yet: 
                   http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven

 

Not sure where that is coming from...  Is it safe to just disable this like it says I can do?

 

Thanks.

I've never encountered that error before, try running the cleanCache task, you will need to re-run setupdecompworkspace afterwards, but it shouldn't hurt anything you've done.
