    I found this. Give it a good read. It's kind of old but there might be some kind of help in there. https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/issues/7558

    As for mods, you can see what programming languages open source mods use on GitHub very easily from the "Languages" section of the right sidebar. For example, the (Minecraft Forge Mod Loader)[https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge] is 97.9% Java, 1.2% Groovy, 0.5% CSS, 0.2% JavaScript, 0.2% Kotlin, and <0.1% GLSL.
  • What loader should I choose for beginner mod creation?
    2 projects | /r/feedthebeast | 30 Aug 2022
    If you're going to call me a "walking pile of smug misinformation", can you at least get your facts right? The initial implementation of Forge Energy was based off of RF, but it was first implementated in 1.10. But "Redstone Flux", the separate energy API download, exists for 1.12, and was a hard dep of the Thermal moda at the time. If you played a Forge tech pack during that time you downloaded a "separate energy API."

  • How can I play the Mekanism mod in 1.18.1?
    2 projects | /r/feedthebeast | 23 May 2022
    0f375c2 - Initial port to 1.18.1 needs a few mods to be built manually and put in flatDir to compile and needs https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/pull/8352 to get into game. Also has a good number of things that need fixing/testing
  • Minecraft crash help! [java] (actually forge)
    3 projects | /r/MinecraftHelp | 8 May 2022
    The crash is happening inside of code for the doggytalents mod, but that doesn't appear to be the culprit. According to this bug report for doggytalents the actual cause of the crash is not mentioned in the crash report because of this forge bug. The cause might be in the full latest.log. Or you could try removing mods and starting the game to find the culprit.
  • New open source Java decompiler
    9 projects | /r/java | 28 Apr 2022
    forge takes the jar as released by mojang, does a couple preprocessing tasks (renaming everything away from meaningless proguard names, merging the client and server .jars, etc), then decompiles it with forgeflower, applies a large number of source-level diffs to the decompiler output to account for deficiencies in the decompiler that cause the output to be mostly correct but not exactly recompilable, applies another set of source-level diffs to produce a jar augmented with the fun stuff that the forge project wants, recompiles this source, then writes the forge modloader against that. (actual mods are written against the modloader and patched minecraft as well, modders cannot write their own source patches, only forge itself has source patches.)
