Step 2: Setting up the Default Mod for Packaging

Start with the main file, called DefaultMod.java.

Open it up in your IntelliJ and read the main comment at the very top of the file after you read this wiki page. It will introduce you and tell you what you need to do before you can actually play with the default. Of course, feel free to look at all the code and read it up now that you have the Default available.

If you don't read and follow the comments, the Default will crash. This is intentional. Read the comments in the main file. All of them. Don't glance over them. I know there are a few of them. Read them. Don't deviate from them if you're a new modder just starting out. They will tell you what to do. You may be interested in checking out step 2.5 right now.

There are some files named in such a way to tell you not to edit them - don't edit them.

Once you believe you are done with the commments in the main file, it's time to proceed to Step 3: Packaging and Playing the Default; Writing Your First Mod!
