I'm working on a Minecraft mod and I messed up big time, there is errors everywhere. Is there a way to exit Eclipse without saving? I remember exiting Eclipse not too long ago where my workspace didn't have a crap ton of errors.

You can just close it **but** maybe more helpful would be to right click and compareTo -> Local History – Scary Wombat Sep 21 '17 at 23:58

@ScaryWombat Heh, I didn't mean literally SCCS (nowdays I use git), I mean just any Source Code Control System, but SCCS was the first SCCS I ever used.. ;-) – azurefrog Sep 22 '17 at 00:02

what happens if you try to click a windows with changes made - I guess it will prompt you to save or not. **BUT** did you read my first comment? – Scary Wombat Sep 22 '17 at 00:07

When it comes to Eclipse: if you are seeing a bunch of new errors, that means your code has already compiled and thus has already been saved. You can revert via local history, however.
It is possible to turn off eclipse auto-saving before you attempt to run (and compile) your code... but that will just force you to manually save if you want to run (and compile) your code.
If you are adverse to using Version Control, you can always just duplicate your project as a new file before implementing major changes.
