appear. (The local repository on Windows defaults toC:\Users\(username)\Documents\GitHub\Equivalent-Exchange-3
, you can change it if you want but then you have to find it again on Github).
- Create an empty directory for EE3 development. This directory is refernced as
mcdev
from now on. It can be where you cloned EE3, but it'll be a little messy.
- Download the latest version of MCP from [here] (http://mcp.ocean-labs.de/download.php?list.2), e.g. mcp751.zip.
- Inside
mcdev
, create a directory namedmcp
and unzip the MCP .zip file into it.- To verify, check if a file named

- Download the latest Forge source for Minecraft 1.5.1/1.5.2 and unzip it into
mcp
. You need at least Forge 7.7.1.500 (Forge 7.8.0.684 if using 1.5.2), the best way is to get it from [here] (http://files.minecraftforge.net/).- To verify, check if a application named
install.sh
exists.
- To verify, check if a application named
- Execute
install.sh
(Linux and Mac) orinstall.cmd
(Windows), both found inmcdev\mcp\forge
. On Linux you might have tochmod +x install.sh
before you can execute it.- This will take some time, be patient.
- Inside
mcdev
, create a directory namedsource
. - Move/clone
Equivalent-Exchange-3
intosource
. - Right now, you should have a directory that looks something like:
mcdev
\-mcp
\-complicated mcp stuff (should have CHANGELOG).
\-forge
\-jars
\-source
\-Equivalent-Exchange-3
\-EE3's files (should have build.xml).
- Inside
Equivalent-Exchange-3

.- Open it up with any text editor, and type into it the following (fully customizable except for
dir.development
):dir.development=../../
dir.release=Releases
release.minecraft.version=1.5.2
release.mod.version=pre2
- Open it up with any text editor, and type into it the following (fully customizable except for

- Navigate to
mcdev\source\Equivalent-Exchange-3
by executingcd mcdev's location\source\Equivalent-Exchange-3
. - Execute
ant build
. This will generally take around 5-15 minutes, depending on your computer. If you've done everything right,BUILD SUCCESSFUL
is displayed after it finishes.- If you see
BUILD FAILED
, check the error output (it should be right aroundBUILD FAILED
), fix everything, and try again.
