For those who don’t know what forge is. Forge is a modding API for Minecraft that has almost been around since the beginning on the games inception in 2009. Making mods for Minecraft can seem daunting at first. Seeing the crazy complex IDEs, using the command line interface, and configuring your java JDK correctly. That’s probably why it’s so satisfying when it works for the first time. Changing something in a game that seems so unconquerable can be a serious adrenaline rush. While getting the your project setup and changing the name of some blocks can be relatively easy, doing something that forge isn’t really designed for can mean designing large api layers and complex code to support your bold idea.
My proposal
My mod idea is one that has been done before in a earlier version but the developer has since vanished and after many dependencies have completely overhauled their mods it makes more since to just rewrite a lot of the code. The mod is called red controls , this mod adds many different forms of IO for many different mods. My idea is to make a mod that creates better interfaces for bundled cables from project red. What you see in the video is some what of a Easter egg. Because i’m less familiar with with forge in 1.12.2, it’s going to take a whole lot longer to create a mod of this scale. If anyone has suggestions or would like to contribute to the code. You can either leave a comment for suggestions or check out the github page. Note: there may be some configuration struggles you may run into but I think I fixed most of that last night.
