**** Modding Made Easy will be halted until 1.4 as I will be learning and teaching you guys the new modAPI that will come with Minecraft. In the mean time, I will be learning the bukkit code as the modAPI will be fairly similar ****

What a fantastic Resource! I'll be checking through these videos myself.

btw: A couple months ago I compiled a list of basic MC 1.2.5 Development resource links that would be helpful for anyone wanting to Mod for v1.2.5. You can use it if you want.

I have decided to make my own "modding" series on YouTube, where I try to make tutorials and teach others the basics of modding.

Besides just giving you the code and letting you paste it, I try to explain everything in the code, and I even give tips on modding and the use of Eclipse.

If you have never programmed before, check out this video:
>> JDK & Eclipse Setup <<

If you want to have a look and start learning some basics of modding, check out the playlist:
>> Minecraft Modding Made Easy <<

**If I were you I'd subscribe because I sometimes forget to add my uploads to playlists, so to see it first in my sub box it's worth to subscribe. I have other content too BTW **

I highly recommend that you know at least some Java language because otherwise this will be nothing but "copy and paste" for you, and you will not really learn anything. I purely try to teach you the basics, and you can then take your imagination to create any sort of mods you want.

Current Tutorial List:
- MCP Setup [5.0] for MC [1.0]
-  Custom Ores/Blocks and generating them in the world
- Custom items and crafting recipes
- Custom crossbow with extreme accuracy and explosive ammo

- See through blocks (Glass), Fire blocks, Slow/Fast blocks
- Launching MC in Eclipse with Custom Textures
- Custom Food
- Eclipse Tips and Trick / Suggestion and Error handling

- Different Custom Textures on Sides of Blocks
- Entity Spawning from an Item
- Item Durability and Consumption on Use
- Block and Entity Drop Rates
- Transforming Items into new Items
- Custom Trees and Generation
- Saplings and Custom Bonemeal
- Custom Furnace Fuel
- MCP Setup [5.6] for MC [1.1] + Updating Your Mod
- Mobs Dropping Multiple Items
- Surface and Biome Specific Generation
- Custom Block Models
- Texture Folder Organization
- Preparing Mod for Upload (Recompiling)
- MCP Setup [6.0] for MC [1.2] + Updating Your Mod

TO DO:
- Potions

- NPC Modeling
- Additional "Uses" on Items
- New Liquid
- Nether Generation
- Different Dimension
- Block Change Based on Environment
- Blocks Changes the Environment (Grass Spreading)
- Block Change with Redstone

- Jump/Speed Change
- Rechargeable Fuel Source

Not positive on this but everyone seems to have the same problem on flowers were the grey block appears. What i figured and i think will work is if you switch image to the top so like my code looks like this.

public mod_Bluetulip()
{
Bluetulip.blockIndexInTexture = ModLoader.addOverride("/terrain.png", "/Bluetulip.png");
ModLoader.RegisterBlock(Bluetulip);
ModLoader.AddName(Bluetulip, 	"Blue Tulip");
}

so what i am guessing its the same as the flower with the sappling so you gotta move the image above RegisterBlock so if that helps let me know if not then hopefully u figure it out soon.

I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!
Post ALL your Minecraft screen error messages along with the code you are having problems with inside of the "[ code] [ /code]" brackets and put both the code and the error message inside of the "[ spoiler] [ /spoiler] brackets.

If you enjoyed the tutorials and want to support this, hit that (+) button down there to vote this up

[Darkaddion]

That's actually a great idea. I don't have time to look at it right now, but you can bet I will soon.

[karlthechao12]

... Well, I would have to say its a little bit pointless (for me anyway) because I think most people who don't know how to mod know no java what so ever :\

Well I mean you can look at it even if you don't know Java, and you might be able to make some basic mods (custom blocks, custom items, custom ammo, food, ores, tools, etc..) but without the knowledge of Java I don't think you'll be able to create brand new mods, ones that do not modify Minecraft but build something brand new onto Minecraft. If you only want to know how to customize what Minecraft already has to offer, then it's worth a watch.

[x2robbie2x]

So far I have added:
How to set up MCP
How to create custom blocks/ores and generate them in the world
How to create custom items

Right now I'm uploading (10 mins) a tutorial on how to make a custom crossbow with insane accuracy and explosive ammo. The video should be up within the next 10-20 mins.

Hi thanks for doing these vids, I have java knowledge but had no idea how to go about modding minecraft.  One problem: While I was decompiling minecraft.jar it came up with a whole bunch of cannot find symbol errors to do with imports of sound libraries I am guessing.  Eg:

== ERRORS FOUND ==

src/minecraft/net/minecraft/src/SoundManager.java:10: package paulscode.sound does not exist
import paulscode.sound.SoundSystem;
^

src/minecraft/net/minecraft/src/SoundManager.java:11: package paulscode.sound does not exist
import paulscode.sound.SoundSystemConfig;
^

src/minecraft/net/minecraft/src/SoundManager.java:12: package paulscode.sound.codecs does not exist
import paulscode.sound.codecs.CodecJOrbis;
^

this goes on for a bunch of packages, 18 errors in total.

Has anyone else seen this or know what might be causing it?  Thanks for any help

When you put folders inside of the "jars" folder in MCP, did you put both the /bin and the /resources folder in there? That might be the problem. Do not put the minecraft.jar into the jars folder, put the whole /bin folder in there, along with /resources.

Next time post the Minecraft error screen not the command prompt
You're getting the error because when you declared your block, you gave it an ID of 1400. Blocks can only have ID's up to 255. So I suggest starting at like 150 or so.

[MrGregsWorld]

Sorry, but that still gives me the same error. I changed the block ID down to 161.

Hmm try this.
After you initialize it to .setResistance(5F), put ".setBlockName("choose what you name it");"

[MrGregsWorld]

Thanks for that download link, I can compare what I did to yours and change what is needed.
