MCMaster87 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 How to make a mod for dummies WINDOWS GUIDE Ok now I've seen many people on technic forums that ask "I wanna go into Modding how do i do it " even saw on a moderators *cough*neowolf*cough* profile feed they asked so heres a guide: Download Minecraft Coder Pack Download Eclipse Luna Download Java Development Kit 8 Download Forge Src (MUST BE SRC NOT INSTALLER OR UNIVERSAL) Make a Folder to keep the mod stuff in Drag all of the MCP files and put it in your mod folder Once you Fully installed JDK open a folder then go to if your 64bit Program Files if your 32bit Program Files x86 go to Java then JDK whatever the version is use version 1.80 u5 because their is some good features in it then go to bin then look at the path bar click on the empty space your java path should be something like C:Program FilesJavajdk1.8.0_05bin then go to Computer/Preferences/Advanced System Settings/Environment Variables/ go to system variables then scroll down to Path then click on the path and click edit you should see the path its probably from your graphics company then go to the bottom of that path then put in a semi colon; so it should be your system path;"Your Java Path" with quotes then press Ok then Ok then Ok then exit computer prefs Backup minecraft Clean install your minecraft Copy your bin folder in the .minecraft folder Open up your Mod folder Go to the jars folder Paste minecraft bin into the jars folder Take the Forge folder from Forge Src and put it to the main directory of your modding folder Open Forge Double click install or something and it will install the packages for forge Go to Mod/src/minecraft/ you should see something hopefully familiar Make a new folder called your name or your modding alias Make a new folder inside MCMaster87 or whatever your alias is doesn't have to be a alias so make the new folder called whatever you want Open Eclipse then select a workspace it should be Mod folder/eclipse And their you go now all you have to do is learn java and code away!

Moderators Munaus Posted August 5, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 5, 2014 is use version 1.80 u5 because their is some good features Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a modder, but if you create a mod with jdk 8 you aren't making it java 7 compatible? Wouldn't the wiser route be to code with jdk 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discord Moderator plowmanplow Posted August 5, 2014 Discord Moderator Share Posted August 5, 2014 Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not a modder, but if you create a mod with jdk 8 you aren't making it java 7 compatible? Wouldn't the wiser route be to code with jdk 7? Mostly correct in practice and 100% correct in spirit. As long as you didn't use any API calls which were specific to Java 8 and only used Java 7 API structures and method you would probably be fine. However, it is easy to let something slip by unless you are extremely diligent. In practice, it makes sense to use the API which you plan on targeting for distribution.
