fabric-example-mod VS Visual Studio Code

For accessing a decompiled minecraft source, I think the easiest way is to grab something people use to write mods (like the fabric example mod or the quilt template mod or the forge getting started guide), open it in an IDE like eclipse or intellij, then just don't write a mod and click around in the source instead. Keep the copyrights in mind

If you're making a fabric mod, then you can just use the Fabric Example Mod as template

This is the template I used, and this is what I used to setup the enviroment, I already coded an item into the mod and it all works, but when I go onto the debug tab on the left and run the code, it opens a new game rather than giving me a share-able .jar file I can drag in myself.

You need to go back to the example mod page, and start again from the 1.18 template. There's a dropdown in the top left to switch between versions. If you can't find it, here's a direct link.

Get an IDE you like (I recommend IntelliJ IDEA community with the Minecraft Dev plugin) and download/fork the example mod. That'll give you a good base

Hello, I am trying to create a Minecraft mod with Visual Studio Code using the template provided by Fabric (https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric-example-mod/tree/1.17). When running the mod in the VS Code testing environment both with and without debugging, it works just as expected. However, when I compile it into a jar file and put it into a normal Fabric 1.17.1 installation, Fabric does not seem to recognize it as a mod and just launches without it. Additionally, when I open the jar with 7-zip, there does not seem to be anything specific to the mod. There are no .class files from my code and no assets. It is as if the compiler just puts in the base components, and cannot find the source code or assets. The mod is for 1.17.1. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Are you using the template https://github.com/fabricmc/fabric-example-mod

I started modding using Fabric; specifically a combination of the tutorial on the wiki, reading how other mods do stuff, and asking on the Discord. Once you're familiar with how Minecraft works internally using one mod-loader it's easy enough to transfer to the others (or multiple at once, using Architectury as pointed out), but I wouldn't start off with this. The example mod also gets you a setup you can modify at will.

I've been trying to use this the example mod from github for hours, but I just cannot get it to work. I keep receiving a "build failed" error on startup (something like "filename: failed") with no context to go off of. I have downloaded Java, and Intellij works fine for other coding projects. I have no idea what is causing this.

A code editor (VS Code is my go-to IDE), but feel free to use any code editor you're comfortable with.

First, grab your favorite command-line tool, Terminal or Warp, and a code editor, preferably VS Code and let’s begin.

C# is very good as a language, have developed in it for 5+ years. The problem is the gap between what MSFT promises to management and actually delivers to developers. You really really need to fully read the fine print, think of the omissions in documentation and implement a proof-of-concept that almost implements the full solution to find out the hidden gotchas.

For example, even probably their best product VS Code only got reasonable multiple screens support last year: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10121#issuecommen...

And then, on the other end of the spectrum, you have Teams.

Hey fellow amazing developers, we got you Essential VS Code Extensions for 2024 (these are especially important for web developers) recommended by our developers at evotik, we wont talk about ESlint nor Prettier which all of you already know.

Visual Studio Code (VS Code): Developed by Microsoft, VS Code is a lightweight yet powerful IDE with extensive support for Python development through extensions. It offers features like IntelliSense, debugging, and built-in Git integration.

In VSCode for example this can be easily done by adding the following .vscode/launch.json file:

I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10643

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), always create a new Python file for your project.

Code Editor: Choose a code editor like Visual Studio Code that offers good support for web technologies and extensions for PWA development.

When working in Visual Studio Code (VS Code), create a new Python file for our music player project. It's helpful to have separate files for different parts of your project.
