BukkitForge will give a Forge based server access to Bukkit pluggins and mods. However, as of writing this BukkitForge has not updated for 1.5. I can confirm it works well for 1.4.7 with about 99% compatibility. You can also do a MCPC+ server. This works well, but also has not been updated for 1.5 yet. I have noticed some incompatabilities with MCPC+ with certain mods like Galacticraft tho, so beware of this. At their core, Minecraft Forge and CraftBukkit do not work together. That's why you'll have to use one of the above methods where someone has ported the API from one to the other as a coremod or whatever. I am patiently (sort of) waiting for BukkitForge to update as I'd rather load bukkit plugins on a forge server than forge mods/pluggins on a bukkit server.

I'm using the vanilla 1.5 minecraft_server.jar to create the initial files. Then I copy in the minecraftforge-universal-1.5-7.7.0.583.zip to the same directory and rename it to .jar. Finally, I modify the run.bat file for the new forge file name. This worked just fine for 1.4.7 and is in the directions on the wiki. Now I'm getting the error below. What mistake am I making? I'm sure it's a noob mistake, please don't flame me! lol C:\Users\stirfry213\Desktop\bf15>java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar minecraftforge-univers al-1.5-7.7.0.583.jar nogui Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ab at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClassCond(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$000(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: ab at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) ... 12 more Could not find the main class: net.minecraft.server.MinecraftServer.
