You have already seen how easy it is to install Forge for Minecraft 1.11.2. Its installer simply creates a new profile (the uses of which we have already covered).

Animation and Minecraft: Working with Scenery
Minecraft is without a doubt one of those games which has inspired thousands, if not millions of people, and that inspiration is shown all over the place. And I’m not only talking about all the awesome things which people managed to build within the game, many of which can also be admired on our own Empire Minecraft servers, but also about everything around it. In this particular case, we’re looking at Minecraft animation.
An often seen question on both Youtube (home of many awesome Minecraft videos) as well as the official Minecraft forums is: “How do they do that?“. So in this post I’ll be showing you some rough examples on how you can combine Minecraft with computer graphic imagery (CGI). Do note that I won’t be doing any actual animation because that would make this post way too complex. I’m merely going to show you guys some basic examples of how it can be set up with Minecraft scenery.
