I currently have tutorials only in text format. I've been working on writing this mod file up to help TFCxAddict update his Gem Pack mod.

Currently included examples:
- Forge File Setup
- Creating a Block
- Creating an Item
- Changing a block's Harvest level
- World Generation
- Adding Crafting Recipes
- Adding Smelting Recipes
- Using the Ore Dictionary
- Adding Ore Dictionary Recipes (Recipes that check the ore Dictionary for Items/Blocks of the same Type)
- Basic setup of a Configuration File
- Achievements
- Custom Achievement Page
- Client Tick Handling (Using ModLoader-like named methods for ease of use by those reading this tutorial)
- Server Tick Handling
- Gui Handling
- Fuel Handling (Adding Fuels)
- Crafting/Smelting Handling (Examples are used to trigger Achievements)
- Achievement Triggering
- More to come in the future!

To do:
- Achievement Localizations (Adding formatted Strings for Names and Descriptions)
- Armor
- Tools
- TileEntities (Furnace Like Blocks)
- Entities (Mobs)
- mcmod.info
- Dimensions
- Anything anyone else wants to see


UPDATE:
I will not be making any videos either Today (September 14th), or during the morning of tomorrow (September 15th). I will however spend much of Sunday creating video versions of everything i've presented in the ExampleMod, as well as hopefully updating the ExampleMod and adding a tutorial for something special. If you want to make an SMP mod with Forge, this will be the tutorial for you!

Videos:
Setting up MCP with Forge:
Mod File Setup:
Your First Block:
If you do see anything incorrect in the tutorial, please feel free to tell me and I will edit it and credit you for the edit.

All of these files are placed together, as this is an actual working mod (No texture files included, but the blocks/items in it still work, they just are blank textured)

If you're interested, download here: Download
Don't worry, it isn't a adfly download, or any other site that gives me any sort of revenue.
It's a dropbox link

I Hope to add video tutorials in the near future, until then I hope these files are of use to you

Alright, will do

Thanks i appreciate it i think it shouldn't be that hard but i just don't know how to get it to work

Nice example mod!
Could you please add a GUI and TileEntities? So for example a custom furnace with own unique GUI or something like this?

Tomorrow after school, I'll add these to the Example Mod as long as everything still works fine.

Quote from happtlandmoo

dont suppose you could add creating custom potion effect?

I've never tried, but I'll try to do it if you really want it

Quote from CookieCake

Armor tutorials would be great!

I'll add those tomorrow after school as well!

I can try, but I don't know when I will get to it.

Curious, does 4.0 hooks and so forth work with 4.1.1. I mean, I only ever find 4.0 and modloader tutorials...

I don't believe any changes were done to the Forge Hooks between 4.0 and 4.1.1, so I would assume they would still work fine.
