Presentation: Minecraft Mod'ing

In celebration of Microsoft buying Minecraft - MADdotNET is bringing you a night of Minecraft Mod'ding - it won't be in .NET, but it will be awesome!

If you've never played Minecraft - check it out at https://minecraft.net/ - and see what Microsoft spent 2.5 billion on ( yes, that's billion with a "b" ).

Minecraft is a creative phenomenon for all ages -- so bring yourselves and your junior developers alike.

In this session, we will create the legendary set of bacon armor, tools, weapons and more! We will be walking through:

• Setting up your IDE (Eclipse)

• Installing Minecraft Forge

• Creating recipes, smelting, items, and blocks

• Packaging the mod for distribution

If you want to follow along, you can download Eclipse ( https://www.eclipse.org/ ) and the source code ahead of time from https://github.com/pvanhouten/thatconference-baconmod .
