oh yea wow, that makes no sense, what the point of making something for people to make mods just to not let them make mods lol

[LexManos 1617]

They can make mods with it.

However this doesn't need to be argued anymore.

MCP is dead, use Forge/ForgeGradle.

yup i am now, its just really hard to set it up, but im trying to figure it out

[LexManos 1617]

One command, that's documented with the readme and examples that comes with it, is hard to setup... Right....

Feel free to suggest how to make it even easier....

oh i mean its probably not that hard, i just cant figure it out, everyones tutorials are how to do it on intellij, and the people that do it on eclipse either use some different command, (decomp workspace or something) that doesent work with me, or they do everything i do and then launch eclipse into an "eclipse" folder that i dont have, nothing seems to work for me the way it does for other people. and for mcp they do it so u just copy the files into a folder than decompile, than it just works, which is way easier than this.

setupDecompWorkspace is old versions.

Either use the buildship eclipse plugin to import the MDK as an existing Gradle project, or run gradlew eclipse and import the eclipse project that generates

[LexManos 1617]

You looking at way outdated tutorials.

I said read the readme that comes with the MDK.

As for the eclipse folder, it's literally just any folder you want for your workspace.

Stop relying on video tutorials and read the readme.

Or you can just google 'How to load a gradle project in eclipse'

yes i have read over the readme plenty of times, but im not sure what to do after step 4 which is why i tried to look up tutorials, it says "Open Project > Run/Debug Settings > Edit runClient and runServer > Environment" but i dont know where "open project" is or any of those things. i also tried doing the first option for step 4, but it brings up "gradle tasks"... im not sure what to do there.

[LexManos 1617]

That would be a menu option in your IDE...

But honestly you don't need to do that.

Just run `gradlew eclipse genEclipseRuns` then IN Eclipse Import -> Existing Project -> Select the root folder with build.gradle and all that.

 

Done...

 

Honestly if you can't figure out these basics when there are literally thousands of hand holding tutorials and videos out there. You're gunna have a hard time when it comes to actually writing code.
