I've looked all over the net and YouTube and for some reason this is some top secret information or something but I'm trying to find out where to get started on making a Minecraft client mod, preferably something that can be put into a pack like feed the beast or technicpack for simplicity for users but either way is fine.
How would I go about creating a mod? I'm familiar with eclipse and java programming itself but I don't know where to start writing a plugin.
I've tried setting up Minecraft Forge but for some reason it is so incredibly confusing and very messy. can't I just include some Minecraft library, start with a simple boilerplate and go from there? (Like developing for Bukkit)
When creating minecraft client mods my research has found that different methods of creating mods. of the choices listed here, they have different perks:
Minecraft Forge is probably one of the better options as of right now (March 2014) so here is a short intro to getting started:
/Library/Java/
). Windows: Shift + Right Click into the white space of the folder and select "Open command window here" OR for Mac: open Terminal and navigate to the directory of the extracted files.gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
OR Mac: ./gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
gradlew eclipse
OR Mac: ./gradlew eclipse
(Note: You can substitute the name of another IDE. Ex. gradlew idea
