Topic category: Help with MCreator software
Unfortunately, older MCreator versions were deleted from Pylo servers. But if you need to get an old MCreator version, you can use this archive.

If you have an old MCreator version that isn't in this list, please upload it to any cloud (I used Google Drive) and write the share link below.
I've been trying for a while now using various tools like jd-gui and recaf but unfortunately I have no idea what I'm doing. The closest I've gotten to sort of figuring it out is trying to edit the bytecode but I also have no idea what to do there. What decomp software did you use? And also, should I just decomp the specific file (NewSetup, in this case) or everything?
Unfortunately, it is necessary to know Java programming to understand the code and be able to make changes. The debugger does not make the code user-friendly. It is necessary to do several debugs and environment configurations in the IDE. If I am not mistaken, at the time I used JD-GUI.
I see, thanks for the help. I guess I'll go and figure out how java works and try and see if I can somehow figure out a solution, and if not I'll just do my mod the old fashioned way. Have a nice day.
Okay, I have figured out a method that works without having to go through all the hoops of disassembly and fixing a million bugs, this might not work for all old versions but here goes:
Step 1: Go to the forge site for your respective version and download the Src file from there (it is a zip file)
Step 2: Put that file in the MCreator/res/patches folder and rename it to minecraftforge_src
Step 3: Unzip that file in a way that it should end up like this: patches/minecraftforge_src/forge
Step 4: Go to MCreator/user folder and look for a file called is.setup, open that file with your text editor of choice. You will notice that the file only has the word "yes" in it. Replace that with a "no".
Step 5: Disconnect your computer from the internet and start the program with either START.BAT or the executable. You can connect back to the internet once the message about not being able to connect to Pylo/MCreator servers appears.
And that should be it, you can now use the old versions of MCreator. Though after figuring out all this mess I realized they are REALLY bad and it might just be faster and easier to make my mod the traditional way. I still hope this helps whoever may need it though. Have a good one.
I want to use 1.7.3, but it crashes on export and gradle tasks don't work.
