Scratch

@16skittles:  That's really good! 

@poopo:  Netbeans is great, isn't it?

@All:  I want to get the mcp working with Netbeans though.

Yes. 

I know how to make it work with NetBeans.
1)Make a new project named Minecraft
2)Drag and drop all the minecraft .java files to Minecraft\src
Viola! you can edit the files in netbeans. You can't run it since it needs the other jars but you can have netbeans superior error catching skill behind you. 

Java's way too complicated for me :c

I just don't get it!

Well, to be fair, I haven't actually tried it XD But if Stencyl blows my mind, and that's supposed to be the next step up from Scratch, then there's not really much point in even trying to learn Java :l

YOU GUYS NEED TO BUY A BOOK!!!!!!!!!! It makes it so much easier. I suggest
Java 24 hours by rogers cadenhead.

I prefer Eclipse. MCP has built-in support for it.

Maybe make a mod for Minecraft. Use the Minecraft Coders Pack, and figure out how to use it with Netbeans. It comes with builtin Eclipse support, and I prefer eclipse a lot more. But you can also manually edit the files with any text editor and use recompile/startclient/startserver files that come.

Lol, I'm not that advanced yet, this is only my first day in Java! I have managed to make a (not really) useful program, basically a bruteforce program that can guess a number (defined in the code, I haven't gotten to input yet) by repeatedly adding one to the variable. It isn't much, but in it I managed to make it probably more complicated than it needs to be by implementing Boolean.
Here's my code:
Instead of this, which will go until it reaches the number only,

package javasandbox;

public class JavaSandbox {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //This java file is specifically for testing random stuff! Delete the remaining code and start fresh!
        
        //This Program will repeatedly try a number until it reaches the predefined number.
 
       int counter = 0;
        boolean correct = false;
       
        while(counter != 45){
        counter = counter + 1;
        
        }
        System.out.println(
                "And the number is... *drumroll*");
        System.out.println(
                counter);
        }
            
    }
}

//This stuff is just the necessary things to open a file, it is necessary for the compiler, but does virtually nothing to affect the code
package javasandbox;

public class JavaSandbox {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //This java app is specifically for testing random stuff! Delete the remaining code and start fresh!
        
        //This Program will repeatedly try a number until it reaches the predefined number.
        
        /**All variables must be declared before we can use them. int counter = 0; declares
        *that counter is an integer and is equal to zero to begin.
        *boolean correct = false; declares that correct is a boolean (has two states, true or
        *false) and begins equal to false.
        */

        int counter = 0;
        boolean correct = false;

       /**The while() statement makes it so that while the boolean correct is false, the
       *within the { } will be executed.
       */

        while(correct == false){
        
        //This statement just adds one to the value of counter

        counter = counter + 1;

       /**This statement is just like the if in Scratch. If the counter equals 45, it will
       *Set the boolean correct to true, completing the while() loop and allowing the code
       *to output the value.
       */

        if (counter == 45){
            correct = true;
        }
        
        }
       //This is simple, it will output "And the number is... *drumroll*" followed by the
       //value of counter
        System.out.println(
                "And the number is... *drumroll*");
        System.out.println(
                counter);
        }
            
    }
}

This code uses a Boolean to check whether or not the number is correct. If you want to see how it works, I added a few extra comments in the bottom one.

It's pretty easy to do some simple mods. Just use MCP and it deobfuscates it for you. Then you have all these classes like GuiIngame, BlockPiston, etc.

i first learned java from that book

I made my first program of any real use! In Geometry, we are learning about the Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Ratio, so I made a program to calculate the first 45 Fibonacci numbers! This is the java class file, but I want to embed it in an HTML document. Any tips on how to do this?
Also, the source code can be found Here, it is a .java file, which can be opened in any text editor.

Viola! you can edit the files in netbeans. You can't run it since it needs the other jars but you can have netbeans superior error catching skill behind you. 

So how do I rerun it?

I think you would need to copy all of the .java files back into the MCP src directory.
