How to Create a JetBrains Student Account

Creating a JetBrains student account is a crucial step in starting your coding journey with IntelliJ IDEA. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a JetBrains student account and setting up your environment for modding Minecraft using Forge.

To start, make sure that you have downloaded and installed IntelliJ IDEA on your computer. Once installed, open the terminal located at the bottom left of your IDE and run the command `./gradlew wrapper -gradle-version 3.1`. This may take some time to complete, but don't worry as it's a necessary step in setting up your project.

Once the process is complete, you will be prompted to trust projects from the directory. You have two options here: either right-click on the project and select 'Open with IntelliJ' or drag it onto the IntelliJ icon. Navigate into your project folder and find the `.gradle` file. Importing the project in IntelliJ is a straightforward process.

If you are still unsure about which IDE to use, we recommend taking some time to explore both Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA before making a decision. While it's ultimately up to you what IDE you choose, having a basic understanding of Java is essential before starting to mod Minecraft using Forge.

By following these steps, you will be well on your way to creating a JetBrains student account and setting up your environment for modding Minecraft with Forge. Remember to update your `gradle` version regularly and don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any issues along the way.
