I started modding minecraft in august 2012 and I have tried, failed, suceeded and learned alot through my work and experience with forge. That is why I now want to give you guys what I've learned and experienced the time I've been modding. I had a topic up before as well, I stopped that one because of several reasons like sickdom, a knee issue and that I needed time for school. But know I'm back and have time for a lot of new tutorials.

Reserved for later use.

Okey, first video is up. I will try to upload one video each wednesday and saturday or something, but it can be some random updating as well. My schedule is very varying so sometimes it will be hard for me to post on saturdays.

I will be doing that in a later tutorial but for now it will have to wait a little bit. I can say it has something to do with GameRegistry.fuelHandler though I haven't checked it out for some time.

Second video up and going.

I uploaded the third episode 1 day earlier because I wasn't able to upload it tomorrow. Enjoy.

I liked your old text tutorials, could you keep the text versions?

Me too. I would really like it if you made them again. I can not always listen to videos but i can almost always read something.

Love the ideas, and I will try to make a tutorial on all of them. The text tutorials before were meant for just this purpose so I guess I could try to get them out as well. But then would you like to have them in the "blog" format like I did last time or in the forum itself, the only problem with the last choice is the problem with enough space, so if I had to choose I would have gone with the blog-format.

Personally i like the format you did it in last time.
Edit: BTW i just had some time to sit down and watch your first video. for setting up. I understand the copying thing. It would be very easy to just copy and paste the code change a few things and have your own mod.The people who did this would not really learn how to mod or what there even doing. So i understand you point of view on the text tutorials but i still think that they would be nice.

What do you use to record your screen i can actually see the text . Most Video Tutorials are hard to read and inturn write.

It's not what I use to record the screen, but what I use to edit the video. I use Camtasia so that I can "zoom" in on the video, with the same resolution so that the text gets visible.

I set up a better list of the planned stuff, added new better videos, will be making text tutorials soon and will come up with a block tutorial really soon!

i have to reset up my files.

Could you do the mob one?

I'm having a little difficulty with creating a spawn egg for my mob. I'll be following this post.

Nice work on the ones you've done, too!

I will do tutorials for mobs, but I have to go in a sort of difficulty ladder where I start with the less harder once and go up.

I think I will do a few tutorials before I get to that point.

Yay! I am finished with all the tutorials THANK YOU for adding text ones.

I have a idea for the items. Items that cause effects i am trying to figure it out bu i cant. I am trying to make 1 Item spawn a mob, Lighti things of fire,and change one block to another
