thanks.

The setting up tutorial should have been changed to say src instead of common. Is it for you?

Dear jcm2606,
could you please show me how to detect shift right click?

Okay, is your client proxy in the location you supplied in the SidedProxy annotation?

OK, I fixed that, but it still doesn't  load my mod.

Dear jcm2606,
could you please show me how to detect shift right click?

Just put an if statement like this in your block's onBlockActivate method:

if(player.isSneaking)
{
return false;
}

[ProjectMinebook]

Thank you so much

GIMP and InkScape. Their the only two other ones which I know that are good. InkScape is a little confusing and hard-to-use but it gets the job done.

Thanks. GIMP works fine. And a suggestion to the tutorials... Make a "Finishing your mod"Section where there will be instructions on how to  make your mod ready to be played.

Coming up soon. TBH I'm actually waiting on my laptop... because once i get that it's gonna be a LOT smoother. And I'll be able to release atleast a prerelease of SorceryCraft.

[ProjectMinebook]

Another question(two more like), so could you tell me how to make an item with a damage bar. And how to detect wich player put a block down, like onAdded event but with player detect.

That code goes in your base mod class.

To make an item with a damage bar just add this.setMaxDamage(~MAXDAMAGEHERE~); to the class constructor for your item, then use stack.damageItem(~DAMAGEAMOUNT~, ~ENTITYDMAGING~); wherever you want to damage the item. Stack being the ItemStack variable.

Thanks. And can you make the mob tutorial sooner please? My mod is all about new mobs. And event tutorial. P.S Is it possible to force the portal to spawn in a specific place when you enter a new dimension? And can you make biomes is dimensions?
EDIT: I just tried GIMP, in your texture tutorial, when you said "in Eclipse, make a new package in the yourname.yourmodname folder called “resources”, then a new one in there called “art”" did you mean that we're supposed to make a new package inside the "resources" package? is resources even a package? And do you mean that we're supposed to make resources in the src folder?

Yes, make the resources package in your mod's package, then make the art package in the resources package, then place your art in there.

So make the resources package in the src folder and make the art package inside the resources?
I cant make a package inside another package.
