ModLoader

Decompiling the ModLoader

The MCP contains a Java decompiler and deofruscator. Problem is that by default, it's only deofruscating the minecraft files, and doesn't work for other things, in particular the mod loader. In other words, if the ModLoader is added to the minecraft jar file - which is supposed to be the case because the mod relies on it, it will not be deofruscated by default and it won't be possible to develop using it.

There's a file, conf/minecraft.rgs that contains some kind of mapping between ofruscated names and deofruscated ones. Need to add there the contents of the ModLoader mapping available from the ModLoader download page.

Hi everyone

I try to create an addon to the buildcraft mod.
Unfortunately I have some problems setting up the buildcraft projects with eclipse.
I get a circular dependency between the minecraft and the minecraft_client project.
The projects in my package explorer are:
buildcraft_client
buildcraft_server
Client (from MCP)
Server (from MCP)
minecraft (from buildcraft common)

Now minecraft wants to add minecraft_client as build path, and minecraft_client needs minecraft.

How to fix that?

Thanks for your help. :)
