[SwiftyNifty23]

I would like to edit one of my old mods that i had but i got a new pc and lost all of my stuff is there a way i can decompile the mod and open it in eclipse?

1. That, is why you should set up remote git repos for your projects.

2. You could decompile the .class files in the jar with a Java decompiler; however:

• All names of variables, fields and methods will be obfuscated.
• Since the code is decompiled, many things done by the compiler would change (i.e. auto-boxing, casting, etc).

You could then copy the files into eclipse after you've fixed the obfuscation.

Personally, I would just start everything over unless your mod is really large (in which case you really, really should had set up a remote git).
