Configuring an IntelliJ Beta-testing Environment From Scratch

WIP - Proper formatting, better explanations, and images to be added later (but this should do for now)

Preparation:

Download and install Java 8.

Setting up IntelliJ:

1. Clone the Zora no Densha repository into an empty folder.
2. Using either the command line or a Git management tool (such as GitKraken), switch the branch of the downloaded repository to mc-1.7.10.
3. Start IntelliJ and open the downloaded repository's folder as the current project. Allow IntelliJ to 'trust' the folder/project if such a warning appears.
4. Allow the project to automatically configure itself. There should be a progress bar or status message within IntelliJ advising that the project is currently importing.
5. Once the project is fully imported and no other tasks are running in the background, add a Run Configuration to IntelliJ to be able to start the game. A Gradle run configuration should be added with the task runClient.
6. Change Gradle Java version to 1.8 (elephant on the right, then the small cogwheel)
7. Start the game using the Debug function in IntelliJ.
