Setting up MCP for newer versions (e.g. 1.12.2)

Setting up MCP without a full MCP release.md

It's possible to use create an MCP installation for versions of Minecraft where there hasn't been a full MCP release. It takes a little bit of manual setup, but the end result is highly useful.

1. Download and extract the most recent MCP build from http://www.modcoderpack.com/. (Currently, the latest build is http://www.modcoderpack.com/files/mcp940.zip)

2. Edit version.cfg in the conf folder, and change ClientVersion and ServerVersion to the version you want (for instance, 1.12.2).

3. Download the SRG zip for the version you want; these can generally be found at http://mcpbot.bspk.rs/mcp/<version>/mcp-<version>-srg.zip (for example, http://mcpbot.bspk.rs/mcp/1.11.2/mcp-1.11.2-srg.zip) or at http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp/<version>/mcp-<version>-srg.zip (for example, http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp/1.12.2/mcp-1.12.2-srg.zip). (For 1.12.1 and 1.12.2, only the minecraftforge link works)

4. Extract that zip into the MCP conf folder, overwriting files and the contents of the patches folder.

5. Download the latest daily mappings from http://export.mcpbot.bspk.rs/. Even if they aren't for exactly the version you want, they will generally work.

6. Extract the mapping zip into the MCP conf folder, overwriting files.

7. Run MCP's decompile.bat as you normally would.

Note that for this to work, there must be a released SRG file for the version you want. The SRG file is what converts obfuscated names into an intermediate step where names are (mostly) the same between versions; the mappings files convert those intermediate names into the names you see and are used to.

Note that as always, the MCP license applies, even for development builds. Please read the LICENSE.txt included with MCP for more information about what you are and are not permitted to do.

An additional note: if you're using eclipse, you will need to manually fiddle with build paths due to updated libraries. You will also need to attach the native libraries, found in jars/versions/${VERSION}/${VERSION}-natives, to the libraries (e.g. LWJGL) for the game to launch.

@RKvilt Throw off the oppressive chains of Microsoft and switch to Linux. Join the master race. For those most severely harmed by Windows OSes, I recommend Linux Mint, as it's one of the few Linuxes that don't cause Windows users permanent brain damage. Albeit. Linux Mint is bad because its all set up for you and there's no challenge in getting it exactly the way you want it with exactly the packages you want, but Linux Mint is a great way to ease the transition to Linux for beginners. Once you have broken free of Microsoft's mind games, you will discover true freedom and find it much easier to use MCP. I have laid down the path for you, but it is you who must traverse it. I wish you luck and low htop stats.

@anoyco I know linux well im not a brain damaged windows user its just that all my files and my work is on the windows and i dont a bunch of it getting deleted i tried having two operating systems on my pc but i didint have enough space

Error: Could not find or load main class Start
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release

I did everything just like in the guide then this happened

i keep getting this when i try to decompile. anyone know how to fix it?

while decompiling it says

please help

(EDIT) I fixed it but got this error

Are there srg mappings for 1.15.2

Are there srg mappings for 1.15.2

Yes

WHEN the version.cfg file says 1.16-rc1, then it gives an error :
ERROR:root:FATAL ERROR
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./runtime/decompile.py", line 61, in decompile
commands = Commands(conffile, verify=True, no_patch=no_patch, workdir=workdir, json=json)

File runtime/commands.py", line 574, in readconf
jarslwjgl.append(os.path.join(self.dirjars,self.mcLibraries['lwjgl_util']['filename']))
KeyError: 'lwjgl_util'

However when the version.cfg is at 1.12, it freezes my terminal(Command prompt).

Many ofcourse want to make Mcp work with newer version of MC. But I would recommend McpConfig by the forge team. It will decomplie any MC version without forge, but requires extra tools to convert from srg mappings it will decomplie too, to MCP mappings.

Correct RedCDev. These instructions are only really meant for Minecraft versions 1.12.2 and below since MCP and the way it is distributed have changed since 1.13.

If you really want to use MCP for 1.13+ (and you know how to run gradle commands), you can use this tutorial: https://github.com/ThisTestUser/MCPFixer
It should working for all versions above 1.13, however for 1.16 there are compile errors because the mappings are still on 1.15.1.

huh its not finding my java how fix yes?

I'm having a problem in which it cant find the temp files, it is because it tries to find a file named ?.java but Windows doesn't accept ? for filenames, so it names it , which looks like a dot and it isn't ASCII

I want to use mcp for 1.12.2, which mappings do I have to download?

I want to use mcp for 1.12.2, which mappings do I have to download?

@Sicky2000: Follow the instructions exactly as given, i.e., use 1.12.2 srg mappings (http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp/1.12.2/mcp-1.12.2-srg.zip) and use stable_39 MCP mappings (http://export.mcpbot.bspk.rs/mcp_stable/39-1.12/mcp_stable-39-1.12.zip).

I would recommend just using MCP Reborn

I have a problem. MCP decompiler has problems at copying ANYTHING to project. Each time, i have to manually download and copy them. Please help. (First JInput error, now icu4j-core-mojang)
And as I understand, there is a lot of libraries.
(I want to build for 1.12.2)

For those who have same problem like me, here is the solution.
Condition: Admin and Current accounts are separate.

Start CMD with admin. Navigate to folder by cd FOLDER_PATH

Make sure that .minecraft is on admin account too. If not, just copy there.

Type decompile.
Wait and DONE!

in my MCP, there are no libraries at all, i cannot find them, i am using 1.12.2.
i go into the jars folder and there are only 2 folders, saves and bin.

can anyone help me?

Does someone know how i fix this? I use eclipse:

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release

that isnt a big issue @DerWeiseILL

How do you link libraries?
Having the lwjgl64 issue

hey, when i decompile i get a lot of errors but the decompile is done, then i fix like 2 errors in eclipse and i get like 18 more that eclipse cant resolve some stuff to a variable, here are all of the 18 errors: https://pastebin.com/jSmsg3su
and when i try to run it from eclipse, this error happens: https://pastebin.com/C2PfMa5E
if you know how to fix, msg me on discord: pwn3r1#1243

You don't actually need the .csv mappings, the normal MCP ones will work fine

If MCP exports is down, you can use the Maven repository for Forge.

Links:
1.8.9
1.12.2

Manual method:
Open this page. It has a list of versions. Look for the latest version corresponding to your Minecraft version, and download from https://maven.minecraftforge.net/de/oceanlabs/mcp/mcp_stable/<version>/mcp_stable-<version>.zip.

If you want even newer versions, this tool may help.

There is a dead link:
