If you already have an IDE, you can skip this.

• Choose your IDE: The two most popular are Eclipse and IntelliJ.
• My personal preference is IntelliJ (Make sure to install the Community version!)
• You can download Eclipse here, and IntelliJ here

• Once you have an IDE, go ahead and make a folder.
• Call the folder your client's name, or whatever you would like.
• Next, you need MCP. You can either get Maven-MCP, or regular MCP.
• Once you have either one downloaded, extract it in your folder.

• Open your IDE, and create a new project from existing sources, if you are on MavenMCP click Maven Project, and if you are on regular MCP click Eclipse Project.

For Maven Projects, select the project file as pom.xml.
For Eclipse/Regular MCP Projects, click on the eclipse folder.

• Click on Project Structure > Modules > Sources, and remove Content Roots.
• Next, if you are using regular MCP, add a Content Root to src/minecraft, but if you use MavenMCP, add a content root to src/main/java.

• To run your program, add a new Run Configuration.
