Running instructions for Minecraft 1.12.2

Before you begin everything

• CovertJaguar has published public betas for Minecraft 1.12.2 on CurseForge. Go download there!
• Be a Patreon to get prioritized support and access to a private development channel!
• Review the License of Railcraft: You cannot distribute jars, and built jars will crash on load!
• When you have questions, go to Railcraft's official Discord server and ping @liach instead of opening issues here!

How to test run

• Make sure you have Java Development Kit 8u100+ (Download here) (Not Java Runtime Environment; JDK 9+ will break Minecraft, old JDK 8 will break BuildCraft dependency) and Git (Download here)
• Find a directory where you desire to put Railcraft folder in. I will call this directory root in the later parts of the guide.
• Open Git Bash in root. (For Windows users, you can right click the folder and find open Git Bash option)
• In the Git Bash, execute

git clone --branch=mc-1.12.2 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Railcraft/Railcraft

• If you wish to run other mods with Railcraft, put mods in Railcraft\run\mods folder.
• If you wish to play in online mode, create a file passwords.properties in Railcraft\ directory with the following content (replace <username> with your Mojang login email and <password> with you Mojang account password; keep the '(single quotes)!)

mcUsername='<username>'
mcPassword='<password>'

• In the Git Bash, execute

cd Railcraft
./gradlew runClient

After a while, the Minecraft UI will appear. You will be able to play Minecraft 1.12 with Railcraft.

If and only if you find a bug in game can you report an issue to Railcraft. Otherwise, the issue created will be immediately locked, closed, and marked as invalid and duplicate. If you found a bug with this post, go to Railcraft's official Discord server , enter #coding or #support channels, and ping @liach#2013 on the server for further help.
