Note: This primer assumes you are using MinecraftForge 1.8.9 build 1670 or above. Correctness not guaranteed otherwise.

This guide is intended for those with a clear knowledge of general modding and want a quick up to speed on how new things work. If you are confused, please hop on IRC and ask for help!
