how do i update a mod from 1.7.10 to 12.2

So just a heads up, you should not repost .jar files for mods that you did not write. Simply giving us the names of them would have been sufficient.

 

In order to update those mods, you would have to first see if the mod author(s) will/have updated them. If not, and/or they have no intention of doing so, you would then need to ask permission to update their code to 1.12.2. Depending on how they have their original sources setup, this may or may not be required, but is a good practice regardless.

 

And of course, you will need to know Java fairly well, and be at least somewhat comfortable coding forge mods in order to update these mods, considering how much has changed from 1.7.10 - 1.12.2.

 

If you were looking for a simple answer, (i.e. you are not a programmer) the simple answer is: you can't.

Unless the mod is very large and has complicated structure, rewriting is probably better than porting from 1.7.10.

IIRC Superhero Unlimited only adds a few armors and tools, so I would really suggest just start the mod over instead of porting it to 1.14.

1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code.

2. Always post your code.

3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that.

Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere

5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger.

1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s).

2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

I use Eclipse and I like it. Some others on here use InteliJ IDEA. It's ultimately up to you which IDE you use.

VANILLA MINECRAFT CLASSES ARE THE BEST RESOURCES WHEN MODDING

I will be posting 1.15.2 modding tutorials on this channel. If you want to be notified of it do the normal YouTube stuff like subscribing, ect.

Forge and vanilla BlockState generator.

Most Java IDEs that support gradle should work.
