Modding Reference:
We will be using 64-bit Java version 8u25, so make sure you get the jdk for that version from Oracle’s site.
After some digging, I found a new version of Minecraft Forge for Minecraft 1.8. It is already in the GitHub, and a tutorial is shown below. I do not think that we each need to do all the setup steps since it is in the shared folder.
If you are using Eclipse, you should use the import projects wizard to import all projects in the entire GitHub repository. You should find 3:
Client
Forge
Server
Include all of them in your workspace.
