Posted August 25, 20196 yr I want to know how to start making Minecraft mods, as I am not sure. Which resources do I need and what must I do? Please tell me in precise detail, like do I need any decompilers? Do I need to download something else? (BTW I program in java the hardcore way, no IDE, just a notepad document, a batch file [For compiling and running conveniently] and visible file extensions

Other than that you need to download the mdk. And run the gradlew commands to setup the source code. And you need to run the command "gradlew build" to build the mod.

If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect. Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.

The problem with that is I can't seem to find any tutorials for gradle, but Oracle themselves DO have a huge guide for Java, so I think that's the huge problem, as I don't know what gradlew is unless it's similar to javaw, so unless you can bring up a guide right here right now that explains these functions and what they do and how to use the command interface, I would prefer you stuck to the topic of no IDEs Edited August 25, 20196 yr by Anonymous1983
August 25, 20196 yr Author Regardless, you did not necessarily explain what exactly I should do other than download gradle which I already have gathering virtual dust somewhere in file explorer

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. Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked. DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.
August 25, 20196 yr Author I don't, it's just I feel like I would need more help on the general commands on Gradle before I even think about trying Gradle again

It runs cool gradle things and you run it in the command line. So open cmd or powershell or bash and run "gradlew blah" and it runs. You don't need to write and gradle stuff yourself. 4 minutes ago, Anonymous1983 said: I would prefer you stuck to the topic of no IDEs Well the whole setup process is kinda dependent on using an IDE though I suppose you could just run through one and it wouldn't matter. Because it downloads the source. Plus an IDE gives many benefits. I can understand using notepad to write code the hardcore way when just using the Standard Java Library or something like OpenGL. Which is really well documented, but Minecraft Forge is not and neither is Minecraft because it's not open source. 6 minutes ago, Anonymous1983 said: Regardless, you did not necessarily explain what exactly I should do other than download gradle which I already have gathering virtual dust somewhere in file explorer I did not tell you to download gradle. I told you to download the mdk from the forge downloads page. And run the gradlew commands to setup the environment.

August 25, 20196 yr Author I first downloaded 1.14.4, then I extracted it, then I opened CMD and ran gradlew, then I ran the other two commands he said, and it came up with errors

August 25, 20196 yr Author I installed eclipse, was that the problem, the fact I didn't have eclipse?
