I have my mod I'm working on but I'm going traveling and want to keep working on it. However I do not want to do the setup process on my laptop, is there something I can do to just put the files on my laptop(through GitHub) and then be able to work on my mod while being able to test it? btw I'm on 1.12.2 and the main part I want to skip is installing forge and the command terminal

No, just run the setup. The files that the process makes/edits are illegal to redistribute {they are owned by Mojang} so there is no legitimate way to transfer them anywhere else. There is a reason why we go through the complicated setup.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

Yes. Make a batch file.

Stop complaining about it. 

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

alright, let me rephrase my question now that I know more, if I copy my whole directory via GitHub what do I need to do to set up a new one on a different computer without any part installed to begin with?

If you put your mod source on GitHub using the gitignore supplied in the MDK the only requirement on the other side is a JDK and some time for the sources to be re-generated, and your IDE of choice, obviously.

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.

I'm sorry but I am still confused. What steps of setup do I need to do on my laptop if I already have eclipse installed but don't have anything else there that I need before I can copy my directory over and have it run properly?

1. Transfer the work dir to your laptop. 

2. add apply plugin: 'eclipse' to your build.gradle file just below apply plugin: 'net.minecraftforge.gradle.forge'(note 1.12.2 only)

2. on the laptop you need to rebuild the eclipes paths. 

gradlew cleanEclipse and then gradlew eclipse 

3.Make the gradlew genEclipseRuns you may need to delete the old server and client.launch before ruining this. (note this only works on the 1.13.2 if your on 1.12.2 you need to use gradlew runClient command to start your game  ) 

this will let your laptop skip the heavy lifting of the build.

Deleating .gitignore is not the best thing to do. And you should not use github like dropbox

Don't do this.

 

What exactly are you trying to skip here?

Do you want to skip the decomp and deobf time or are you going somewhere without internet?

 

The Forge MDK uses a Gradle wrapper (Batch and Shell scripts combined with a Jar file, allowing Gradle to bootstrap itself on any system with a JDK installed).

As long as you have a JDK installed that the included Gradle Wrapper can use (along with an internet connection to allow Forge to fetch all the dependencies), you'll be fine.

I don't have command terminal access as far as I know and getting the setup files on my laptop is tricky, so I'm trying not to use the terminal and only put files on through GitHub if possible.

Why would you not have access to cmd or terminal on your machine?

It seems a bit sketchy, is the laptop yours, borrowed, or does it have parental controls or some such turned on?

The code on GitHub is only your mod’s code. None of the required libraries or the prerequisites for launching minecraft + the mod are on the mod’s GitHub. The gradle tasks downloads and sets up the environment for you to make the mod. IntelliJ has an integrated terminal, you could run the setup tasks from a script or you could theoretically do the entire setup from single user mode. The setup tasks are necessary to develop a mod.

as far as I know I can access the terminal but it may be on some form of restrictions, so if I can get a working workspace without having to use the terminal it would be nice

AFAIK you need access to the command line in order to setup, test, git commit, and build your mod.

You really should find a way to gain access to the command line, or developing mod would be very (and unnecessarily) difficult.

Some tips:

Your command prompt/terminal's working directory needs to be the root directory of your mod source(i.e. where gradlew and gradlew.bat are) for that to work.
