Logistical magic!

In order to get started with Minecraft mod development in this workspace, a few prerequisites are required:
- Git
- Java Development Kit 8 (JDK 8)
- (Optional) Gradle
Each of the listed requirements contains a hyperlink that should take you directly to the correspondant download page.
Just download and install what is compatible with your OS.
Gradle is optional is because this workspace includes a Gradle wrapper,
so when executing commands that begin with gradle,
execute them with gradlew instead and everything will function normally.
If you're using OSX, I highly recommend using Homebrew, and installing everything by executing the following commands:
brew cask install java
brew install gradleIf you don't have Apple's Command Line Utilities installed before installing Homebrew, Hombrew will install them automatically.
Executing the following commands to prepare the workspace:
gradle setupWorkspace
gradle eclipse
gradle build
gradle --stopDepending on your internet connection and the processing power of your machine, it may take a while to build.
For most people it takes about 10 minutes.
Again, if you don't have Gradle installed, then just replace the gradle in those commands with gradlew.
Once it completes, just open up the generated eclipse directory in your IDE of choice.
If you're using IntelliJ's IDEA,
there should be an Eclipse plugin that's automatically installed with it from version 13 and on for compatibility.
