[1.16] Editing code without restarting game

[KidKoderMod033109]

Hi,

I'm working on a mod in IntelliJ IDEA, and I've seen people on Eclipse edit their code and update their game, but they didn't restart the modded instance. I'm wondering how I can do this myself?

Thanks in advance

People will respond when they can. Don't unnecessarily bump your thread.

 

As for the answer, look into the IDE you use for hot swapping your current running instance. It's like you're trying to "debug" the process.

This is an excellent post detailing the steps. It says to install DCEVM and the Hot Swap plugin, but another user claims only the first one is necessary. I followed the same steps, but wasn't able to see any edits in-game. Perhaps it'll work for you though (if it does, lmk)
