(SOLVED) [1.14.4] Best Way to Switch between Multiple Mods?

[MineModder2000 3]

I want to make a Halloween themed mod on time for the season, but I am currently working on a bigger mod that will take much longer to finish. I already copied the java and resource files over, its good to do so you have a back up. I am thinking I will just delete the current mod files out, and then add the other stuff in, as this smaller season mod will only use the main mod file probably. Then after I am done I will drag and drop and replace the files from my first mod. Is there any better way?

Do you actually want this to be one mod project? Use one Git repository with branches and merging.

Do you want this to be two projects? Use two Git repositories.

Use git clone.

I had tremendous difficulty trying to get the git method to work, so I ended up copying over the entire project folder into new work-space, I have 1TB HDD for a reason.

Well this actually does not work, I can't make any changes in the code that are recognized in the new work space...

Then you probably set things up wrong.

Best solution, different src folders, that I drag and drop to replace, done.

In terms of the git method, its a known issue, it was telling me the source folders were missing but even after linking them the error wouldn't disappear. With physically cloning the work space, I was getting build path errors, i could figure out how to resolve them but why bother, I like my newly discovered method of just having multiple src folders.

How to do it right:

 

1. Create a new folder
2. Add all the files that Forge ships with
3. Run the forge setup commands
4. Open eclipse and say "change workspace"
5. Point it at the new folder

Thanks but I am actually happy with my method, as everything is in one work space and project.
