I just want to look at minecraft "source" code

[deep_fried_bacon]

I'm just getting started with modding.

I have a fair amount a java experience and some gradle experience. I have experience installing and using mods.

 

 

I was looking at the source code for some different mods to see how they worked but I needed to see the "source" code for minecraft to understand it. (quotes around "source" because I know you can't get it directly and you have to decompile and deobfucate the jar)

 

I've downloaded the forge mdk file and I've successfully (as far as I can tell) run the setupDecompWorkspace command.

My understanding is it's supposed to do the decompiling/deobfucating. At first I thought it was failing because it seemed like it was making any new files. After a sh*t ton of googling (I am very unhappy with the forge documentation) I finally realized the decompiled files end up in userhome\.gradle folder. So I went there and tried to find the code and I can't for the life of me find it. I've googled it every way I can think of. I've searched the forge documentation and forgegradle documentation. I feel like I'm going insane.

 

This is what  directory structure looks like in my userhome\.gradle\caches\minecraft\ folder

("\" indicates the folder contains other folders that I removed to make it readable.)

└───versionJsons

 

 

So what am I missing. Is it somewhere in there? Did I fail to actually decompile+deobfucate minecraft? Am I wrong about it being in .gradle\chaches? Am I just being stupid

 

Thanks in advance

To do this properly you'll need to use a Java IDE.

Thank you, that did the trick. I can't believe I was being so daft.
