Getting Started?

Hi, I need help with my java variables and linking eclipse up with my forge folder. Im quite new to modding but I do have experience in Java. Any help is appreciated.

What helped me a lot start out was this tutorial and github:

https://cadiboo.github.io/tutorials/1.15.1/forge/

https://github.com/Cadiboo/Example-Mod

 

For complex or specific things I looked at other githubs, just ensure they are 1.14.2+ or you run into issues with the API changes.

 

Another source of information are the original Java classes from Mojang you can inspect in your ide of choice, a lot is de-obfuscated and human readible.

 

I also strongly recommend to have at least some Java background or read up on it, some of the concepts use rather "modern" ideas like lambdas.
