Now that ComputerCraft is open source, we have the ability to get in-progress versions of CC built straight from the official repo. However, if you aren't all that tech-literate and wish to get a fresh build, here's how.

CrazedProgrammer has graciously provided an automatic build server for ComputerCraft at http://cc.crzd.me. To get the main build, pick the first option. If you wish to play on later versions (i.e; 1.11.2 and 1.12) pick their respective builds. ("Update to 1.11.2" and "[WIP] Update to 1.12") When you click on the big link, you will get a jar file. Put that jar file into your mods folder, start up Forge, and enjoy!

Note from SquidDev about reporting bugs:
If you're using Minecraft 1.11.2/1.12 first check it doesn't occur on the 1.10 version and, if not, report it on the specific pull request. So:(Lupus590 has edited this quote for clarity)

You may want to swap the words "CI server" for something less gargon based, perhaps "surver which autoatically builds the latest version".

You may also want to do the same with "master branch", I would suggest "official repository".

Build and repository still are technical words, but I feel that their non-technical meanings provide enough clues that those unfermilliar with Git and CI will be able to understand.

You may want to mention that you can treat the jar like any other mod.

Additionally you may want to explain that the website also builds modified version of the mod which may have bugs. Mentioning that, it's probably a good idea to remind people where to report bugs.

But reports should be put on the GitHub issues section. However, if you're using Minecraft 1.11.2/1.12 first check it doesn't occur on the 1.10 version and, if not, report it non the specific pull request. So:

Well, firstly you're using a diamond pick rather than the hoe - which isn't going to result in a farming turtle. Furthermore, you cannot use damaged items for turtle upgrades - you'll have to repair it or create a new pick.

@OP may I suggest that you put somethink like this in your OP.

If you're using Minecraft 1.11.2/1.12 first check it doesn't occur on the 1.10 version and, if not, report it on the specific pull request. So:(Lupus590 has edited this quote for clarity)
