An aside about obfuscated names

Minecraft has 3 levels of naming:

1. Notch Names - these are the names of methods and fields that Minecraft uses when distributed. Often things like a.aa and b.cf2. This is the fully obfuscated state
2. SRG Names - these are the names given to methods and fields by the runtime deobfuscation process that Forge performs when you run the game. Compiled mods use these names, as they are consistent across minor versions
3. MCP Names - these are the human readable names you see inside Eclipse. These names are supplied by hand when someone figures out what a field or method does via the MCP Bot on IRC. Installing the Forge development environment with the MDK grabs the "current" mappings when you run gradlew setup

In order to run a mod in the development environment you need to deobfuscate it first, changing SRG names into MCP names, so that it can run in the development environment.

There are a couple ways of doing this:

1. Acquire a "sources" jar from the mod's author (subject to the whims of the author; may or may not be public or open source, have an API, etc. etc.)
2. Use Code Chicken Core to perform a runtime deobf in Eclipse (may or may not work; note: you want the sources jar)
3. Using a tool like BON2 (never used it, should work)
4. use Gradle to deobfuscate the mod (should always work)

The problem with option 4 here, is that while I know it's possible I can't (and haven't been able to for some time) find the necessary instructions. The things I can find now, posted by people who would know how to do 4 are suggesting doing 3.
