Setup

1. Install Oracle JDK 8.
2. Install an IDE.

• I prefer IntelliJ Community Edition
• But Eclipse works too, pick "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers"

1. Download and install Git
2. Clone this repository.

• From a command window in the directory where you want to clone into, enter git clone https://github.com/brianfromoregon/ForgeProject.git

1. Download all the dependencies.

• From a command window in the ForgeProject directory, enter gradlew --refresh-dependencies setupDecompWorkspace eclipse

1. These steps are only required if you are using IntelliJ.

• Open IntelliJ, choose Import Project, and select the build.gradle file inside the ForgeProject directory. Press OK twice.
• After import finishes open Run > Edit Configurations, click the green plus button, select Application, and set these values:
  • Name: Minecraft
  • Main class: GradleStart
  • Use classpath of module: ForgeProject_main

1. Press OK and click the green play button.

Verify

1. Run Minecraft from within the IDE
2. Select Single Player, then Create New World, set Game Mode to Creative, and click create.
3. Type the word draw in chat and see if a line of glass blocks is created in front of you
