Modding Minecraft: Wip Tutorial that will be updated regularly

Java is used in many games these days. It is a basic language, the only thing simpler I can think of being C. Not C++, Not C#, just C. But back to java. I have been coding in java for about 5 months now, and the main thing I use it for is modding Minecraft. Minecraft can be modded easily because A: Mojang(the games creators) endorse it, and B: it isn't coded that easily. You have probably installed mods before, so you know how to get to the bin folder in the .minecraft folder.

PART I: WHAT YOU WILL NEED

All of these files and programs are easily found on google.

What you will need to download(for any java coding, not just Minecraft):
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers-This is where you will write all of your code. I highly suggest you use this over any other Java coding suite. It has a very easy to use GUI.
Java Developers Kit(JDK)-This is an official program created by Oracle that allows you to code in java.
Java-Do I even need to explain why you will need this?

Now for everything you will need for Minecraft coding:
Minecraft-Self explanatory. Please don't use cracked clients and by the freaking game.
Minecraft Coder Pack(MCP)-Decompiles your Minecraft jar file, as well as recopiles and reobfuscates your client and outputs the mods.
Paint.NET-DON'T USE PAINT!!!!! I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH! USE PAINT.NET SO YOUR TEXTURES LOOK CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will also create a tutorial for the modcreator MCreator if you don't want to learn to code. That is, when it's updated.

PART II: SETTING UP MCP AND DOCOMPILING YOUR MINECRAFT CLIENT
Set-up tutorials(I realize they are old, but it is set up the same way) :


PART III: The Main Menu-Coming soon

I will update this as frequently as I can.

Thank you for this bro, glad you joined LF.

Well, you are the one who referred, and it's hard to say no to a friend of mine.

Glad your here! Nice share

:biggrin: Thx Sync

Part two up. I was lazy on it, but I have some tests in the next 10 days that I have to study for, first one on Monday.

Sick thanks for the post

Thanks! I am currently working on updating my mod to 1.4.2 atm as well as studying.

Sorry for not updating the topic in a while, will do soon. School has been a bitch due to things like all of my theater classes(I go to a performing arts high school, and no it's not like Victorious or Glee.) as well as a shitton of Algebra 2 HW. I hope I can update it within the next few weeks.

great tutorial! keep up the good work, if you ever need any java help let me know! I'm industry certified in java se_6 and se_7, I specialise in security programs... By the way, I like your sig (the picture and the text (I find them both funny :tongue:))
