Hi, I need a list of things so I can start a mod.
I have an idea but i have no clue how to code or what i should have to start
Could anyone give me a list of things i need to download/learn were to code, and what i should do to start it, and anything else i should know haha :smile.gif:
That's a bit of an exaggeration... If you learn java (it won't take a year if you follow some sort of program), you should know enough to start modding. Learn java to start, then learn how to use MCP.
I keep seeing this everywhere. Everyone's always talking about how hard Java is and how long it will take to learn. In my opinion Java is a lot easier than Objective-C, the other language I know. Just by watching thenewboston's first 30 or so videos I could grasp the language. If you do follow a program, I think its a lot simpler than one might think. Looking at very complicated code (like Minecraft) without knowing Java just gives a headache. So I would recommend watching a tutorial series, like thenewboston's.
I just looked through Minecrafts code and tutorials and I worked how it all fits together, then I watched ThenewBosten's tutorials and now I know what I'm doing!

Exactly!

Ok i downloaded Notepad++ but what else do i have to download?
Alright you will need:
-A Text Editor like Notepad++, etc, etc. I suggest Sublime Text 2 (the one I use) or EditRocket (heard it was really good).
-Minecraft Coder Pack (MCP) for the version of the mod you want. I'd suggest making your mod with MCP 5.0, as it's the only version compatible with Minecraft 1.0.0.
-You need the Java Development Kit (JDK). Download the x86 one if you're using a 32-bit computer, or the x64 if you're using a 64-bit.
Now all you need is a good tutorial ^.^
As others have suggested, TheNewBoston is an amazing way to get started (that's how I'm starting :biggrin.gif:)
As a side note, Notepad++ is really good for the basics, but IMO Sublime Text 2 has a bunch of different colours to show different sources and classes.
yeah....i can up with an idea for a Mod....
based off of bleach :wink.gif:
see when you join you got the chose to be a hollow (im still making the idea for it) or sole reaper.
If you chose Sole Reaper you start in the Rukongai, spawning in 4 different cities (the only ones). What youdo for the first 2 days is do quests, like go into the forest to find something, if you get lucky one of those people will join you in becoming a sole reaper (or looking for something a hollow spawns and a sole reaper apares and helps you...thus speeding up the time to become one)
After you become a Sole Reaper, if you go to the gate (i havnt though of this part too much so ill expand it..like you have to get a friend or 2 that will join you in becomeing one)
After you become one you can join one of the 13 squads (1 not counted), each one does diff things, like squad 2 and use flash step [witch you do unlock by lvling up] and squad 11 you can deal more damage.
After you become a seated officer you can go to a gate, found randomly round the seireitei, that can teleport you to the world of the living [witch you have to go to, to become a third seat, and to unlock the way to Hueco Mundo to finish the mod...ill add more later]
When you get to captain [the more hollow you kill the high rank you get] you can go to Hueco Mundo and fight the espoda and adventuly Azian....
Thats all i have...if i learn to code does anyone think it will be good?
Ok i have watched 39 of the tortals for it (theNewBoston guy) and on 39...as of now i know a bit :tongue.gif:
and im also starting to make maps just a few questions.
1. Can i make a map using Java? Or do i have to hand make it?
2. How can i make a spawn point (like im going to make a portal much like the one for the neather, just i want them to spawn at a certain point, how can i do that)?
3. How do i add people, and how i do how do i add text and stuff?
ps: i havent watched all the tortals, just half of them...on 39 atm
atm i have all but knowlage haha
i still want to know my preveous questions:
1. Can i make a map using Java? Or do i have to hand make it?
2. How can i make a spawn point (like im going to make a portal much like the one for the neather, just i want them to spawn at a certain point, how can i do that)?

@lemonszz: could you post the links you were using?
Hah, goodie, another Notepad++ fan. :biggrin.gif:!
Well, quite simple:
1. Learn some basic java.
2. Download needed programs: MCP, Code/Text editor
3. Find a proper tutorial on how to make a basic mod.
4. Start writing a mod. (Remember now kids, no copying, as copying is BAD! Very BAD!)
Download MCP 5.0 for Minecraft 1.0.0

i wouldnt say java 'class' cos some people might get confused
-MCP which you can get from here: http://mcp.ocean-labs.de/index.php/MCP_Releases
-Java Development Kit, which you can get from here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
-An editing program , probably Eclipse, because MCP has been designed to work with Eclipse, which
you can get from here: http://eclipse.org/
-either knowledge of Java, or u can learn how how to browse the forums and find a tutorial
have fun modding

idk how to do spawn points and
you can go here for a tutoral on how to add people(NPCs): http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/473884-modloader181-strengths-tutorialshelp-281111-generation/page__st__100
