I've been wanting to learn Java, especially for Minecraft since me and some friends are doing a huge project. One that would require the addition of several items and mobs. Do you know how to make a mob?
I would recommend learning Java doing some simpler stuff before trying to make a mod, especially something complex. I have not done that much client modding myself, so nope I don't know how to make a mob. If you are doing client modding you can use MCP (http://mcp.ocean-labs.de/index.php/MCP_Releases) to decompile minecraft.jar then edit the individual class files that you want to make modifications to.
Compiling in this case is essentially where the computer converts human readable Java source files (.java files) into Java bytecode (.class files). To run the program, the computer essentially just reads and executes the instructions contained in the bytecode. Decompiling basically converts the bytecode back into human readable class files.
I read on your comment on cliff's profile that you made an API for a GUI in python? That sounds interesting :) I'm gunna try to learn some more python soon, since the software that I use to control my 3d printer is written in python and I want to try to make a few little modifications to it.
Haha alright, thank you :) Also what's an API? XD I realize I should've asked that before, but I just want to make sure I didn't name it "TkAPI" in the wrong context. Can it be like a framework?
Yeah :P The Beta's almost finished, just need to add a few widgets here and there ;) The actual version will come with a Widget Guide, which I haven't had the chance to make because I'm still learning about all of them myself.I should have it within the next hour :P
