Okay, I can understand that. But it seems that does not support older versions of Minecraft, like 1.5.2. My use-case is that I would like to create extra mods for a mod package that me and my friends are using. I guess that this might be a slim use-case for trying to convince you that it might be good to support even older versions. But I am guessing that there might be others trying to do the same thing as me. So my new suggestion being that you could add a small documentation on your site, on "How to do stuffs for the 1.5.2". Might not be a really bad idea, as people would much rather it actually works directly than having to change stuff. But if they are determined on getting it to work for 1.5.2, I guess they'd like a little guidance before having to go through the trouble I went through. If you want, I can write a documentation page for this. I'm more than happy to contribute stuff. ( Documentations, development tools, environmental tools, source code )

Hey ppl, I just went through a couple of hours debugging the java build of my Minecraft Forge instance. The I kept getting errors all the time. My suggestion would be to add fixes/patches for the following: 1. First off I kept getting error messages telling me that automatic download of the files `scala-library.jar`and `bcprov-jdk15on-148.jar`was not possible. I tried then to find out where to download these manually, as the links where clearly broken. The links I tried was `http://files.minecraftforge.net/fmllibs/{filename}`. I then discovered a forum post where they told others to just add `.stash` to the filename. So for scala-library it would be `http://files.minecraftforge.net/fmllibs/scala-library.jar.stash` and now that worked like a charm! I just had to add the files to forge/mcp/jars/lib/ and that part was resolved. 2. Next problem was that some of the libs where not compatible with JDK 7 SE ( java version "1.7.0_45" to be specific ). I got the error _NSJVMLoadLibrary: NSAddLibrary failed for /libjawt.dylib JavaVM FATAL: lookup of function JAWT_GetAWT failed. Exit So, not so clearly, this had to do with the java version. You should use JDK 6 SE. What I needed to do to make this work was to edit `forge/mcp/runtime/commands.py` line 789: - self.cmdjava = '"%s"' % os.path.join(results[0], 'java') + self.cmdjava = '/usr/libexec/java_home -v1.6.0 --exec=java' After all this, I got to finally compile my client with the mod. Hope this helps someone, and that this can be fixed. Cheers, Artheus
