Hello everyone, I decided to make a modding tutorial for the very beginners out there who has zero knowledge of Forge modding. In my tutorial I will do my best at explaining the tiny details so that people who has no previous knowledge of modding can actually start modding.

Also, I will have the textures I used in the tutorial mod free to download and use!

Here's all my textures, and here's any other project files.

All tutorials can be viewed directly from my site:

I wouldn't mind seeing some tutorials for things that aren't well covered, such as fluid containers/tanks. There are thousands of tutorials on tile entities and mobs and all that jazz. But, this is your tutorial thread so I think you should do whatever pleases you.

I support this. Although many of the tutorials I looked through weren't as high quality as yours, doing tutorials on stuff like fluid containers/tanks/other more complicated systems would make yours unique.

I will look for free time to do the tutorials, because currently my schedule is so cramped. The next tutorial I might do may be basic tile entities/gui tutorial like a chest.

Finally released a new tutorial, covering storage tile entities!

isn't it logical to hold on to the order Basic - intermediate - advanced?

anyways, another great tutorial!

I agree, but I don't exactly have a to-do list, so I just write tutorials based on what I currently know.

Once again another tutorial has been published! It is on multi textured blocks.

Of course i eventually found out you need to add a class instead of a text but you never mentioned that in your tut

EDIT: Nevermind actually. even if i use a add class it doesnt matter because you didnt say where to put it

Because it really doesn't matter where you want to put the classes.

It looks like this issue is related to the forge version. I dropped from the latest 1.7.10 (forge-1.7.10-10.13.3.1407-1.7.10-src.zip) to the recommended (forge-1.7.10-10.13.2.1291-src.zip.) and the problem went away. I tested without eclipse in the mix by doing this "./gradlew runClient" with vanilla installs.

try copy your real minecraft assets in 1.7.10.jar, specifically the "textures/font" folder, to the eclipse assets.
