Learning minecraft mod code

[JayyThePotato]

hello everyone, so i am VERY new to coding mods for minecraft but i am somewhere between beginner and intermediate with java, recently i decided to pick up coding for an old mod called witchery from 1.7.10 because it was my favorite mod and its the reason i played 1.7.10 exclusively until the 1.13 release. now obviously because the code is relatively old a lot of changes had to be made and i got it down to a working file however since i finished fixing all the errors i tried to run the client and it ran and opened minecraft however in the minecraft tab that opened i got an error, the screenshot is cut off but it says" has mods that were not found" i googled it to see what it was but i didnt manage to come up with anything aside from a different post on this forum with the same issue that was related to MOD_ID.  

the error code :-

[14:45:59] [Server-Worker-7/ERROR] [ne.mi.fm.ModLoader/LOADING]: Skipping lifecycle event SETUP, 1 errors found.

any help would be greatly appreciated <3

Post your code (in a github repository) and your full debug.log (You can find it in run\logs).

You should probably upload all the code, not only that file.

You should learn to use Git, which is the encouraged method of uploading your code to GitHub.

 

Also, what do you mean by

and i got it down to a working file however since i finished fixing all the errors

? There is a lot of changes from 1.7.10 to newer versions. If all you did was to fix the compile time errors, then the mod will not work at all. IMO it would be less work to write the mod from scratch rather than porting across such a huge version gap.

ill learn to use it and post the full code, and what i did was fix all the errors that came up when i launched it in inteliiJ with the 1.15 gradle.

In that case, I'm afraid you are far from updating the mod.

 

All the "launching of IntelliJ" is going to do is load the Gradle file, which is only used to setup the workspace (and other misc stuff such as building the mod). It won't give an error as long as you have a valid build.gradle.

 

After that, you will still have to actually update the code. I would expect a mod like Witchery to have about 80000+ lines of code, and the majority of those need to be rewritten due to the large update. I would suggest to learn more about Minecraft modding first before tackling on a large project like this.

oh damn, thank you, i thought this would be an easier entry than coding something like witchery from scratch because its such an intensive mod. i have already codded a small scale mod  and added like items and blocks and such to better understand how the minecraft code works, and i thought this would be like a half-stepping stone to further understand all the specialties that come with it.
