JMAS Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 I apologize in an advance if this is a noob level question: In the class file I'm creating I'm trying to import net.minecraft.nbt.NBTTagCompound which apparently is no longer in the 1.14.4 MDK but instead is at the MCP folder at \mcp940\bin\minecraft\net\minecraft\nbt I have the MCP folder listed in the libraries under project structure (using IntelliJ 2019.3), but in the individual class file I can't get it to make that connection for importing. How do I do this? (P.S. I've been learning to code Java for an hour and 13 minutes now (sarcasm), so thanks for helping me with my learning curve.) Quote

JMAS Posted December 13, 2019 Author Posted December 13, 2019 I'm updating code from 1.12.2 to 1.14.4 and learning the joys of trying to keep up with the changes. If I was a master at JDK 7, then these adjustments would come much quicker. But since I completed my first Java training series a week ago, I'm a bit to the noobier side. I just solved the problem of trying to get 5 different pieces of software to cooperate after your push for me to abandon 1.7.10. (Turns out that allowing IntelliJ to auto-update causes Gradle.build to cease functioning properly.) Nobody helped with that one. I figured it out by trial and error and dissecting the files until eliminating the problem. I have the MCP folder because a video tutorial recommended it. If you have a better video tutorial series I'll happily watch it and learn accordingly. Quote
DaemonUmbra Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 At this time I have to say McJty's tutorial is the least bad.

DavidM Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 No need to mess with MCP. Simply download the 1.14 mdk and copy the src from 1.12 to 1.14. Then fix all the mapping changes and other changes with your IDE. Quote Some tips: Reveal hidden contents Modder Support: Reveal hidden contents 1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code. 2. Always post your code. 3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that. 4. Quote Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere Expand 5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger. 6. Quote The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it. Expand Support & Bug Reports: Reveal hidden contents 1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s). 2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
JMAS Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 Thank you for the input, DaemonUmbra, and DavidM. To DaemonUmbra: As I had shared with Diesieben07 in a different ticket, I have devoured (McJty's) Jorrit Tyberghein's "Modding Tutorial 1.14: Episode 1 (IDEA setup, basic mod and first block) after you re-routed me away from 1.7.10. Prior to that I did the first 7 Mr. Crayfish tuts on mod building with a grain of salt as that series is for 1.7.10 but still has good fundamentals, I hope. To DavidM: Sounds good to me, but I am little hesitant only because of uncertainty with the complexity of fixing "all the mapping changes and other changes with your IDE. " If you had a video/tutorial to recommend it would be appreciated. Thanks to you both for your feedback and input. JMAS Quote

JMAS Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Solved that problem already ("created a new package and manually imported it over. Ugly but effective."). At this point the issue is about the benefit of your experience and skill in receiving direction towards good tutorials in training for java/mod creation in 1.14.4 (and on) that I might become an asset to your endeavours here rather than a stress.
