ShaqGames – Minecraft Forge 1.7.2 – Setup

Hello everybody and welcome back to shrekman’s game commentary or video tutorial i guess so today we’re gonna be taking a look at creating our uh set of pc we’re gonna set up our minecraft modding environment for one point seven point two yeah all right so i guess there’s a few

Things we got to download here uh links for all these will be in the description if you uh if you want to direct links to without having to search for yourself uh that’s mighty fine with me so we’re gonna go so right here uh so we’re gonna start with uh

Uh the jdk uh the java development kit you want to doubt you want to make sure you have the absolute latest version installed for either one of your platforms uh what is windows 32-bit which is this windows x86 64-bit windows right there right there and then mac it’s right there

Download install that uh make sure you gotta make sure you have that for this uh things are not gonna work for you and you’re gonna get stuck next thing you’re going to need is eclipse so i’m using at least eclipse ide for java ee developers this is the one i’m using

This the one i used in my last video series as well code hinting didn’t i i tried clip standard and it wasn’t getting any code hinting so i’m not sure what was up with that but if you use this uh java the java for java ee developers

Uh we got everything that we need uh to make what we what we’re making which is mods so again you can download that and uh third thing we need is of course minecraft forge so the latest recommended build right now is uh one point seven point two

Uh so you uh built 10 uh version 10.12.0.1024 if you want to download that and uh we can get started with that uh one more thing you’re going to have to download for mac users anyway windows users you’ll have a separate app a separate uh thing for this and i will

Explain that in a few minutes there’s a link in the description for something called minecraft forge 1.7 point x auto setup you want to download that as well it’s going to make this process a hell of a lot easier it’s an application that i created for mac that’s going to allow you

To easily set up forge with like two or three clicks it’s really easy and for windows developers i’m not quite sure how it’s gonna work yet um if i have to create another video on it i will create another video on it uh but link will be in the description

For that as well uh if i have it when i put this video if not i’ll give you a link to another guy’s video he’s uh created an application as well for this uh that will uh set up for uh minecraft forge as well so for windows anyway uh supposedly it’s

Gonna be a bat file um that’s pretty much all i can say right now i don’t really know what else is gonna uh how that’s gonna work i still have to develop it yet so uh yeah so make sure you got those four things uh the jdk uh

Kit 7 so java development kit 7 eclipse minecraft forge and for mac users and i guess for for windows users the the minecraft forge 1.7.x auto uh setup application or bat file uh for your respective platforms um for linux people though i don’t really have anything for you um

I’ll i might even have like a an sh folly that you can download and run that has all the commands in it for you so uh yeah let’s get let’s get going here shall we so you got all those things downloaded already close your browser however it got them downloaded right here

Um here’s my application right here minecraft forge so it’ll look like that um when you want to use it uh so you want to you’ll want to open up your dmg uh there you can copy it to your applications folder if you like but you do not necessarily have to i

Just put that in there in case you wanted to uh so you’re going to extract forge first off we’re gonna have that we’re gonna rename it to i’m gonna i’m gonna name my modding tutorial uh you can name yours whatever you like it does not matter in this case uh and

After you’ve done that and you’ve got the jdk installed it’s as simple as double click on your home at least for mac anyway like i gotta specify this is for mac only right now uh double click on the application and it’s gonna choose it’s gonna say choose your forge mcp folder

Which is modding tutorial and click on choose so that’s going to start the whole process up here i got a little notification saying that it has started to set up uh minecraft forge this will take a few minutes uh up here in the top there’s a little spinning gear

Right up here in the top corner or in the top bar that will show you that is actually doing something and we’re just going to wait for this to finish so the reason for this is uh in in this in this this new modding uh stuff they switched over to something called gradle

Um it’s a it’s an automation tool for for java stuff like uh they they use it for for uh android and lots it’s crazy um it’s pretty good it’s it’s it’s a step in the right direction of course but it’s also just a little bit tougher for you guys to do it

There you go so setup is complete uh it will tell you that setup is complete and also set up the eclipse uh workspace all right guys a slight pause in the video to educate all you windows users out there uh everything from this point and before is the same for pretty much

All users on all platforms uh make sure you got eclipse installed make sure you got the latest version of the jdk installed links are in the description um the only difference is instead of you’re dialing the mac application for uh doing the set up a forge you’re going to be downloading the

Windows version instead again link will be in the description for that as well and this is all going to be done within a simple click so after you’ve downloaded latest build of forge for 1.7.2 and my setup utility again link is in the description extract the zip folder

And rename the folder to whatever you would like it to be and place the setup utility within that folder uh then simply double click on the dot bat file uh and everything should handle itself if you have any issues uh please post on my forum link is in the description

And i’ll try to help you out any way possible so that’s pretty much it guys now let’s get back to the rest of the video for uh finishing the initial setup uh forge in eclipse from now on as well you guys can also just follow all of my mac videos for creating blocks

And items and so on and so forth uh just like before anyway guys let’s get back to it so uh now so we’ll have in here i’m gonna have anything in there right now that’s a hidden file uh so you’re gonna you’re not gonna see that anything has really changed in here but

Trust me it’s it’s it’s changed so we’re gonna open up eclipse now and that’s it you’re pretty much done installing it and now it’s pretty much launch it and get started right now i’m not going to do any of the coding today really because well we got more videos to do that in

Uh so uh file structure has changed dramatically in this so we got all these you know we’re used to this kind of stuff uh being in here but we got these two things here um uh source main resources and source main java so um i’ll explain resources in another video but basically

Sources this is where your mods gonna go so we’re gonna create that we’re gonna go package and you may be asking me well what the hell is this com.example.examplemod for you know what the hell man come on uh well that’s um uh it’s it’s an example mod it gives you

The basic code that that you need to set it up uh if you want you can use that but we’re just gonna start fresh with our own code we’re not gonna worry about anything else so uh this time for maybe our packages excuse me we’re going to go with a more formal uh

Way of uh naming java packages so for me i have my my website is shockrooting.com um if you don’t have a website then you can pretty much choose whatever you want you can go like but i’m going to go com dot shaq rudin uh dot modding tutorial that’s going to be my

Tutorial that’s going to be my package name you can go.com and whatever you want but i’m just going to stick with this i think because i think that’s pretty easy i’m going to click finish that’s going to create a package so we need to create our main

Project our main class file here so we’re going to create class file and i’m going to i’m going to call it modding main you can call it as whatever you wish and uh we’re going to click finish and now we got our basic uh file up here

Now we are going to go into this other package because they do have really good code in here for this so we’re just going to grab from atmod uh down to the very end of the file and we’re going to paste that into our file here

Uh you’re going to change it it’s going to give you a red line underneath that i don’t need any of these imports and get rid of all of them and uh we’re gonna we’re gonna get we’re gonna change this package you can just hover over it actually

And we’re gonna go rename type to modding main and we’re pretty much all sorted out so it’s already changed all that so now uh the way they’ve the way the way that they’ve set this up is that you can uh basically have these two variables uh constants actually

For setting up uh what your mod id is and what version you’re you’re running so we’re gonna go here for the mod id i’m gonna put in modding tutorial now to uh to preface this um we’re gonna be uh we’re gonna be using uh this uh mod id

For our textures as well so we’ll be using mod id for textures folder and we’ll get into that next time as well and then version can stay at the same way if you wish or change it doesn’t matter and we’re going to get rid of this right here

It’s the sample code get rid of it done do a little bit of cleanup and there we go we’re all set up ready to go uh so we can right click on this other package right on the package at the top there i’m gonna click delete okay good now we’re deleted and we’re

Going to click on that and we’re going to get in and uh i’m going to mods you can say monster so it’s put it’s pulling up our mod id as our name you’re like well why the hell is it doing that minecraft showed up so we’re gonna fix that right now actually

Uh so we’re gonna open up uh source and we’re gonna so we’re gonna open up this msmcmod.info file mod id i’m gonna change that to modding tutorial okay uh name your mod this is gonna be sample mod description sample mod created by shakarootin version can stay like that for now

Mcbridge you can stay like that for now uh you can fill all this stuff out if you wish i’m going to do it why not checkout.com update url not going to bother with that author’s name chakra ridden shaq rudin for creating this sample mod and screenshots you can

Put all this stuff but we’re not worried about that right now close and i’m gonna launch it again and now we should have a name for our mod uh in uh minecraft forge and here we go sample my the version isn’t working but that’s fine

Uh we can we can work with the way it is that’s no problem uh gives you all the information for which is great and that’s pretty much it for today uh not sure what else to say but uh yeah so um if you guys got any questions uh

If you’re having any problems with uh any anything i talked about in this video please visit my forum forum on my forum which is at forum.shakaroot.com i’m going to try and use that instead of comments this time for everything let’s get start right off with that and then people that then

Because the the comments just weren’t working the best at least this way i can you know if i’m if i’m not able to answer comments uh for a day or two it’s not like i’m lost completely i can just use it go onto the forum bam bam check them all out find them

Reply all that stuff uh so we’re gonna get going on this we’re gonna try to push full throttle with this and we’re gonna get going um i’m also gonna be completing the redstone furnace the custom redstone furnace uh that i started for 1.6 i’m going to finish that before i’m done

With 1.6 so you guys can uh at least know how to do that that’s probably going to change in this one so yeah uh but you know what actually here’s a better idea i’m going to leave it up to you guys if you guys want me to

To finish the custom furnace uh there’s two more parts there’s like another like maybe close to two hours left uh video for that uh i’m guessing and uh if you want to see that i will definitely do it if you don’t you just want me to start with 1.7 and

Start fresh with there and just keep going then i will do that as well and uh yeah so anyway guys thanks for watching uh check out the next video uh i’m not sure if i’ll have annotations or not but uh you know it’s all gonna be a playlist

You’ll be able to define the next one just fine and it’s going to be great enjoy your day your weekend your time whatever you do in your night whenever you’re actually watching this video and uh stay solid you
