I'm not really a fan of Minecraft, but my son is as are many of my students. I'm looking into using Minecraft Mods as a way to introduce them to programming. Below are some possibilities.
- Install JDK (Teen Coder has some good instructions)
- Install Eclipse (Again, Teen Coder has some good instructions)
- Download Recommended version of Forge
- Create a new profile in Minecraft that runs the same release as the Forge download
- Install Forge (not sure if this is necessary)
- Download Recommended version of Forge src
- Install Forge src by running install.cmd (must run the command prompt as an administrator)
- Copy fml/eclipse to mcp (rename eclipse file within mcp to something else like eclipse_mcp)
- Point eclipse workspace to mcp/eclipse
