A new tutorial, again!

https://emxtutorials.wordpress.com/exporting-your-mod/

A short one, about exporting your mod into a JAR ready for shipping, with Forge Gradle.

I'm curious as to what this is used for. Do you have any examples?

Could you do a tutorial about making a weapon with longer attack range? I've looked around a bit (which included writing a post here), but I haven't figured out how to do this yet. I know it's possible, though, because Mount & Blade: Battlegear 2 implements the same system (the reason I haven't used their code is because I find it difficult to navigate).

I tried that tutorial, but Eclipse keeps throwing errors for some reason. This is the problem class (everything else works just fine, but I'm still working on the handler):

package io.github.tntftw21.thuumcraft.handler;

import io.github.tntftw21.thuumcraft.ThuumCraft;
import io.github.tntftw21.thuumcraft.item.tool.IExtendedReach;
import io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf;
import net.minecraft.entity.Entity;
import net.minecraft.entity.player.EntityPlayerMP;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.ByteBufUtils;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.simpleimpl.IMessage;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.simpleimpl.IMessageHandler;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.network.simpleimpl.MessageContext;

public class MessageExtendedReachAttack implements IMessage {
	
	private int entityId;
	
	public MessageExtendedReachAttack() {
		
	}
	
	public MessageExtendedReachAttack(int entityId) {
		this.entityId = entityId;
	}

	@Override
	public void fromBytes(ByteBuf buf) {
		entityId = ByteBufUtils.readVarInt(buf, 4);
	}

	@Override
	public void toBytes(ByteBuf buf) {
		ByteBufUtils.writeVarInt(buf, entityId, 4);
	}
	
	public static class Handler implements IMessageHandler<MessageExtendedReachAttack, IMessage> {
		public IMessage onMessage(final MessageExtendedReachAttack message, MessageContext context) {
			final EntityPlayerMP player = (EntityPlayerMP) context.getServerHandler().playerEntity;
			player.getServerForPlayer().addScheduledTask(
					new Runnable() {
						@Override
						public void run() {
							Entity entity = player.worldObj.getEntityByID(message.entityId);
							if (player.getCurrentEquippedItem() == null) {
								return;
							}
							if (player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem() instanceof IExtendedReach) {
								IExtendedReach weapon = (IExtendedReach) player.getCurrentEquippedItem().getItem();
								double distanceSq = player.getDistanceSqToEntity(entity);
								double reachSq = weapon.getReach() * weapon.getReach();
								if (reachSq >= distanceSq) {
									player.attackTargetEntityWithCurrentItem(entity);
								}
							}
							return;
						}
					}
			);
		}
	}

}

The problem is that `player.getServerForPlayer().addScheduledTask(new Runnable())` isn't defined for WorldServer (which getServerForPlayer() returns).

As I said, I've run into problems with this tutorial before, and I think it was this exact problem. My Forge build is 10.13.4.1448 (Yes, I'm still modding towards 1.7.10, but I really don't think much of 1.8 just yet). I've no idea why this is happening, because nobody else seems to have had this problem, and WorldServer doesn't have any methods for scheduling tasks (the only scheduling it does is for blocks and TileEntities).
