Stuff that looks difficult but in reality isn't

Quick access:

• How to make a website (like this one)
• How to make a minecraft mod
• How to make a MediaWiki wiki

1. Make a github account
2. Go into the make repository page
3. Make the repository name your username and append ".github.io" to the end, like WoodStuff.github.io.
   The username doesn't always have to be what you registered with, to check it, click at the top right
4. Change the rest of the settings as you want. The only ones you'll probably care about are description and readme
5. Create the repository
6. Find a way to create a file, depending on if you added a readme you'll either click on some text or Add new file → Create new file
7. Name the file index.html
8. If you know HTML feel free to add anything in, if not copypaste this in
9. Commit changes...
10. Wait a few minutes
11. Go to the address displayed in the repository name, for example woodstuff.github.io
12. Congratulations, you probably now have a website!
13. Learn HTML

1. Make a folder
2. Go to forge download and download MDK from recommended (latest if there's none)
3. Unzip
4. From the MDK folder, move these to the folder you made in step 1:
   • src
   • gradle
   • gradlew
   • gradlew.bat
   • build.gradle
5. Install this thing
6. Open it into the folder's gradle file
7. On the top bar, view > tool windows > gradle
8. Go to mod > Tasks > forgegradle runs and doubleclick genIntellijRuns and runClient
9. Make sure runClient is chosen at the top right dropdown
10. To run, click green arrow
11. This man makes good modding tutorials

Note: Only you will be able to view this wiki as it will be localhosted.

Tip: If you don't know how to do something, use ChatGPT. I was absolutely clueless what I was doing and I managed to make one with only the help of ChatGPT

1. Download XAMPP, this is the thing we will be using to localhost the wiki
2. Run the installer, make sure to check Apache and MySQL when the thing shows up, also pay attention to where it'll be installed
3. Download MediaWiki
4. Unzip MediaWiki
5. Copy the MediaWiki folder that's inside the one you unzipped; do NOT copy the one that has another single MediaWiki folder
6. Drop it into the location in step 2 and into the htdocs folder, for example if XAMPP was downloaded in C:\ the location you would drop the folder into would be C:\xampp\htdocs
7. Feel free to rename that folder you copied over, this will be the name in the search bar, if you set it to "wiki" you'd access the wiki at localhost/wiki
8. Open C:\xampp\php\index.php and search for this line: ;extension=intl. Remove the semicolon
9. Open XAMPP Control Panel and start Apache and MySQL
10. Go to localhost/phpmyadmin and into the Databases tab
11. Create a database named wiki, don't change anything in the dropdown
12. Go on localhost/wiki or what else you named it in step 7
13. It'll say something along the lines of "wiki is not setup yet", click the link below to set it up
14. Follow the instructions. A few things you have to set specifically:
    • Database name: wiki (this is the name of the database created in step 11)
    • Database account for web access: Checked (I don't know what this is for but ChatGPT told me to check it so it might be important)
15. When the wiki has been setup, you will have a functional wiki!
