I'm a beginner modder and a concept seems to keep popping up due to its importance is reading the source code. I have also hear it being called "reverse engineering". Is there a guide or could someone help me not get lost in the giant sea that source code can be?

 

Additionally, I'm using eclipse by the way and it seems like the file search feature does not search stuff in external dependencies (where the minecraft source code is). Am I missing something?

 

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The code for minecraft entities, blocks, etc are all in forge, and that is on your computer. For external dependencies just look up their github.

 

If you don't know Java, or just an inexperienced programmer, diving into Forge with a complex idea isn't going to work out. Anyhow, implement something trivial, for example maybe a new zombie extension, to figure out the ins and outs of what you're working with.

Thanks for the reply!

 

My question was more like if anyone had some tips on how to use eclipse-related tools and general navigation things that make reverse engineering easier (like command clicking a method to go to its definition and that kind of stuff)

 

Thanks in advance!

The right-click menu is great.

Find references, open type hierarchy, navigate to definition and so on.

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.

      Thanks, I've now installed a slightly newer version and the server is at least starting up now.

      The crash points to moonlight lib - try other builds or make a test without this mod and the mods requiring it

      Do you have shaders enabled? There is an issue with the mod simpleclouds - remove this mod or disable shaders, if enabled

      Maybe you need to create file in assets/<modid>/items/<itemname>.json with content like this:   { "model": { "type": "minecraft:model", "model": "modname:item/itemname" } }
