For both Intellij IDEA and Eclipse, their Gradle integration will handle the rest of the initial workspace setup.However, any environment, from Netbeans to vim/emacs, can be made to work. Forge only explicitly supports developing with Eclipse, but there are additional run tasks for IntelliJ IDEA or Visual Studio Code environments.Move the files listed above to a new folder.Only a few of these files are strictly necessary for mod development, and you may reuse these files for all your projects. You should see a bunch of files along with an example mod placed in src/main/java for you to look at. Extract the downloaded MDK into an empty directory.Obtain the Mod Development Kit (MDK) from Forge’s files site.You can obtain one from Eclipse Adoptium. Using a 32-bit JVM will result in some problems when running the below gradle tasks. Minecraft and MinecraftForge both compile against Java 17 and as such should be used for development. Obtain a Java 17 Development Kit (JDK) and a 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM).The rest of this documentation is about where to go from here. This is a simple guide to get you from nothing to a basic mod.
