Only bits and pieces of information, everywhere...

[intermediateuser 1]

So the state of things in the modding community seems to be that all the information we need IS out there, but none of it is easily located and 95% of it is outdated.  This makes getting started modding (or in my case, returning to it) very hard!  Discouragingly hard.

 

Thing is, I know Java, too.  I just don't know how Forge and Minecraft connect and how it all looks and works in Eclipse.  But I realize this is very BASIC information!  I simply need some page or tutorial that shows me how to get a mod even started once I already have Eclipse set up.  Most "Getting Started" guides only show how to setup Eclipse and Forge, and then figuring things out from there is a matter of Googling and reading through these forums for hours piecing together outdated information to hopefully come up with a working solution.

 

Am I the only one feeling this way?  Is there, by this point, some up-to-date resource that actually covers the simple things, so that I just get my foot in the door?  Surely there exists one, at least, and I'm simply not aware of it?

The only thing I can really point you to is: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Failing that, you can always look for Lex's github which should contain at least one project that is up-to-date.

Hey, great, thanks.  I will keep those in mind!

There's a list of modding tutorials for 1.9.x/1.10.x here, some of which have been updated to 1.11.

 

1.11 is still fairly similar to 1.10.2, but the main change is that

ItemStack

s can no longer be

null

(the default value is now the empty

ItemStack

, see

ItemStack#isEmpty

) and most fields of

ItemStack

that were public are now private with public getters/setters. Because

ItemStack

s can no longer be

null

, anywhere that used a

List<ItemStack>

or

ItemStack[]

should now use a

NonNullList<ItemStack>

.

 

Edit: I forgot that this site doesn't use Markdown.

Tyvm!  I will have to look into this when I get time.
