There's probably a way... But if you're having trouble finding them, why not use comments to keep track of where certain ones are? Leaving comments to split up and organize things can be quite helpful. There are three types of comments that I know of. I'll give some examples below.

 

 

//Full-line comments, like this... These come out green, and cannot hold code on the same line

/*Green comments with an explicit end, so you can type code on the same line before or after*/ This.IsWhere("We Put Code"); /*Another comment*/

/**Same as the above, except these are blue**/ This.IsWhere("We Put Code"); /**Another blue comment!**/

 

They'd display something like this:

 

//Full-line comments, like this... These come out green, and cannot hold code on the same line

/*Green comments with an explicit end, so you can type code on the same line before or after*/ This.IsWhere("We Put Code"); /*Another comment*/

/**Same as the above, except these are blue**/ This.IsWhere("We Put Code"); /**Another blue comment!**/

 

 

The ones where you can define an end can be spread over multiple lines, so you could make them say something like this:

 

 

/**

===========================

======= BLOCKS RECIPES =======

===========================

**/

 

//Example Block

ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(exampleBlock, 1), new Object [] {"##", "##", Character.valueOf('#'), Item.lightStoneDust});

 

/**

=========================

======= ITEM RECIPES =======

=========================

**/

 

/*Example Item*/ ModLoader.addRecipe(new ItemStack(exampleItem, 1), new Object [] {"# #", " # ", Character.valueOf('#'), Item.ingotIron});

 

 

There are tons of ways you can use them for separation/organization. And they're for your eyes only. The game can't see them. I hope that helps a bit.

In you mod_xxx put in your load() this

public void load()
{
     YOURRECIPECLASS.getRecipes()
}

 

In you Recipe Class make a function like so

 

public static void getRecipes()
{
//Recipes go here
}

Next Question

 

How do i set up my work space to Generate my terrain  but through another file

 

basically the same way that you use the

 

getRecipes()

 

command

 

how do i do this for Generating terrain

 

and

 

Structures (if possible)

[atrain99]

just do the same thing, but in the generateSurface() override.

[jamesscape2]

can u give me a example please as i cant figure out how to do it

 

thanks

 

[atrain99]

in the mod_XXX file, add a generateSurface(...) method. In it, just do

OTHERGENCLASS.generateStuff(...);

Figure it out, or learn more java.
