What are some good resources?

[HappyHippo77]

So I've been learning Forge for a little bit, but I can't find any good resources. So far I've been using Cadiboo's tutorials (1.15.1) at https://cadiboo.github.io/tutorials/1.15.1/forge/, but those are still very early in creation and after looking through the source code of other mods around this version it appears that it is not teaching typical organization methods.

I'm intending to learn Forge 1.15.2, but if there's an easier/more accessible version that's still relatively recent then I'll take that instead, and move into 1.15.2 as I improve.

So yeah, what are some good resources, and what version should I learn first?

McJty's youtube tutorials aren't half bad, but they still use somewhat outdated concepts like sided proxies. Still a good starting point, in my opinion.

In general, I recommend looking for resources no earlier than for 1.14, as that's when Forge did a massive rewrite of the entire system. Anything before that would be too outdated to be useful (or receive support on the forums).

Spend time browsing the minecraft sourcecode for things you are interested in trying or how they work.

Make good use of google and the search on this forum. I find searching class/method names that I'm working with yields decent results most of the time.

 

Make sure you have a decent grasp on Java, if you are confused by the basics (or even advanced features) of the language, stop to go back  and figure them out.
