*Disclaimed: I am not responsible for any damage done to your system because incorrect installation of anything or if you do something wrong.
Don't be worried by the warning that's just so I'm not in trouble if you did something wrong or downloaded something from the wrong website. So just relax
Step 1: Install the Java JDK: Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html and find and download the correct version of the Java SE Development Kit 8u60 for you Operating System (ex: Windows 8 x64 bit). Now find the file you downloaded in your downloads folder. Run the program and go through the installation process.
Step 2: Add the JDK to the system path: If you don't know what this means it basically just allowed other program to access the JDK. This step is VERY important so follow it carefully. First open File Explorer then on the left hand side find "Computer" and click it then you should see a few options on the right find your internal hard drive for me it's the "C:" Drive. Once inside the internal hard drive find the "Program Files" folder go inside it and fine the "Java" folder inside the java folder there should be a folder called "JDK" with some numbers at the end of the name. Open the JDK folder once in the JDK folder you should see a folder named "Bin" once inside that folder look toward the top of file explorer you should see a box with a directory in it (ex: C:/Desktop/Folder/) click the directory box then right then press "Copy" or just press "Ctrl + C". Now look to the left of the screen again and find "Computer" and right click then click "Properties" a menu with information should popup look to the left (again) and find the "Advanced System Settings" button another menu show up if you look toward the bottom of that menu you show see a button that says "Environment Variables" click it and ANOTHER menu should popup you should see two boxs with stuff in then look at the first box and then look a bit under it you should see a "New" button click that a window should show up with two text boxes in it the first box type "Path" (without the quotes) in the second box paste the directory you copied before and press "Ok" and x out everything. Now open the cmd prompt by opening the run program and typing cmd or search cmd. Once you open the cmd prompt type "javac" (without quotes) it should output a ton of stuff but if it says "'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external program, operable program or batch file" then you did something wrong repeat step 2 until get it to work.
Step 4: Make the workspace folder: This is pretty simple go to your desktop and right click on an empty space then hover over "New" then slide over to "Folder" and click it. Name the folder whatever you want I'll call it ModWorkspace
Step 5: Install Eclipse: Before you downloaded Eclipse but now we need to install it. Go to your downlosd folder and run Eclipse once it's installed it's going to ask you to give it a workspace. Press browse and locate the folder you made in step 4 and press "Ok". Eclipse will then open once it opens just x it out
Step 7: Preparing the files: Open the ModWorkspace folder and hold shift and right click in an empty part of the folder then click "Open Command Window Here" then the cmd prompt should popup in the cmd prompt type exactly the following commands:
gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
This may take 5-15 minutes on a fast computer (Yes it's a long time but it has to download ALOT of stuff). Once it finishes enter the next command:
gradlew eclipse
That should only take like 2 mins. Once it's done close the cmd prompt and anything I told you to open if you haven't already.
Step 8: The Moment of truth!: Open up Eclipse and once you open Eclipse look at the top of the screen and find the work "File" click it then find the "Change Workspace" button then go to the folder you made in step 4 then inside that folder you should find a folder called eclipse click that folder and then press done. Now Eclipse will close and reopen itself once it's open you should see a file called Minecraft. If you don't then I'm very sorry. Try starting over? If it did work the you better get to coding. I learned to program from Themchewy's below is the first tutorial where he setup the workspace like we just did. *Below is for the people that didn't get it to work. But the link "Modding tutorials" link above is the second episode where he starts to make all the packages and classes (You'll learn what that means soon ).

Thank you so much for reading! If you want to you can PM a link to you mod and I'll post it here! Just give me a forum post or a download link and also tell me if you used my tutorial. I will look I the forums every now and then so don't expect me to post it in a day.
None yet but hopefully we get some soon!

Step 3: Download Eclipse: If you don't know what Eclipse is then it's a program that allows you to program in Java. Go to: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/marsr and find and download the right version of Eclipse for your Operating System.
Step 4: Make the workspace folder: This is pretty simple go to your desktop and right click on an empty space then hover over "New" then slide over to "Folder" and click it. Name the folder whatever you want I'll call it ModWorkspace
Step 5: Install Eclipse: Before you downloaded Eclipse but now we need to install it. Go to your downlosd folder and run Eclipse once it's installed it's going to ask you to give it a workspace. Press browse and locate the folder you made in step 4 and press "Ok". Eclipse will then open once it opens just x it out
Step 6: Download Minecraft Forge: Now we need to download Minecraft Forge so we can actually make a working mod. You may already have the installer but thats not what we need, we need the source version. This is a direct link to the recommended download: http://adfoc.us/serve/sitelinks/?id=271228&url=http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.7.10-10.13.4.1448-1.7.10/forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1448-1.7.10-src.zip. Find that file in your downloads folder and move it to the ModWorkspace folder and right click on it and press extract all. After it extracts a new window will open with a bunch of files drag ALL the files in that folder to the ModWorkspace folder.
Step 7: Preparing the files: Open the ModWorkspace folder and hold shift and right click in an empty part of the folder then click "Open Command Window Here" then the cmd prompt should popup in the cmd prompt type exactly the following commands:
gradlew setupDecompWorkspace
This may take 5-15 minutes on a fast computer (Yes it's a long time but it has to download ALOT of stuff). Once it finishes enter the next command:
gradlew eclipse
