====== Applying changes without restarting Minecraft ======
Restarting Minecraft can take a hefty amount of time. Thankfully, there are tools that allow you to apply some changes while the game is running. 
==== Reload changed classes ====
In Eclipse or Intellij IDEA, run Minecraft in debug mode. To apply changes in code, click the "build" button in Intellij IDEA or save in Eclipse.
Note: this only allows you to change method bodies. If you do any other kind of change, You will have to restart.
However, if you use [[http://dcevm.github.io/|DCEVM]], you will be able to do most changes, including adding and removing methods and classes. 
==== Reload assets ====
After you make changes to assets such as textures and block/item models, you can rebuild the project and press ''F3 + T'' to apply changes without restarting Minecraft. More specifically, this is how to reload anything the mod provides as a resource pack.
==== Reload data ====
You can apply any changes made in the ''data/'' directory such as recipes, loot tables and tags by rebuilding the project and then using the in-game command ''/reload''. More specifically, this reloads anything the mod provides as a data pack.
