First off, I am just saying that the Solar Tower Mod you all had hoped for by me was moved over to another, better, mod dev. If you would like to check it out: http://www.squirrellystudios.com/index.php?threads/solar-tower-mod.249/

This thread is not about that, this thread is about me creating the mod to use the textures and recipes of the items in the link in my signature

Two questions:
First, I am doing this mod as sort of a Vanilla mod where it only uses Vanilla items, then I am going to install the GT and IC2 apis and use their items to create my own. So my question is could someone make a video or something to help me install the APIs in mcp/forge
Secondly, when trying to add the block Coal Block I can't get the recipe:
I can show specific code if you'd like but for now I am hoping someone can just tell me what the code is. It's simply 9 coal in a crafting grid...smh lol

I can probably walk you through how to add the apis through a PM I guess, as for the Coal Block recipe, are you remembering to account for metadata (as in the thing that tells Minecraft what item is coal and what item is charcoal) when declaring your ItemStacks?

I do agree that he is too slow. Minecraft Forge wiki has very nice basics tutorial with how to add crafting recipes.

It should be pretty simple to add one like yours, it would look like :

Code: 
GameRegistry.addRecipe(new ItemStack(coalBlock), "xxx", "xxx", "xxx", 'x', new ItemStack(Item.coal));

(of course you have to initialize your coal block before hand)

you know sweet fuck all, Pahimar is an extremely talented modder. He's not going too slow, he's going at the pace that is best for complete novices such as yourself to learn to mod.

You don't have to act like a Pahimar's fanboy. Everyone has it's own rate of learning. Of course his tutorials have quality, but they really feel more like engineer school lectures than actual tutorials in my and some others opinion.

There is 100 and 1 ways to learn how to code and how to mod minecraft. I did prefer basic tutorials then figuring things out myself + help from minecraft forge IRC. my only starting knowledge was basic java
