Wait... Are you trying to open universal .jar? If you do that, that isn't installer and you have to install it manually. Click on Windows Installer and use that to install to respective folder.

When you launch the launcher, you should see forge as one of the options.

The link I gave is official downloads for the forge. You should only download from official source, as non-official ones might be fake. I suggest you to redownloading it from the official source and doing an antivirus scan.

Did you download it from this link or somewhere else? https://files.minecraftforge.net/

If they can't see/ping, that means can't... see it. Some kind of firewall (OS or Antivirus) might have blocked connections. Or you might have to tweak some options to allow them, but, it's not possible to know what is the problem.

Yeah I know, it's not proper but suited my purpose. Still, doing the most proper one is preferable. I didn't know I can do it without registering blocks each time. Thank you.

Can they see/ping your server when they add it as a server?

I said decorative, I know, but I plan to change hardness etc. for some of them. So, I suppose blockstate isn't enough. What could go wrong with creating them dynamically? I had thought of it and only world corruption & change of the block ID came into my mind. (don't know they are possible, just thoughts) I will use some kind of version checking and resource checking to avoid expensive network usage.

Can you be more specific? Is your firewall open or do you use something like Hamachi to connect eachother? If not, is your modem is open to public connections?

I'm getting the JSON at pre-init and creating them at registration event before registry. Currently, it needs to restart to get updated, but, that is not a problem. My intention isn't changing them after post-init. So, it's not a problem I suppose. But, still, I have to get them before the registry happens, at pre-init.

I was trying to achieve creating blocks with data from a server, but I hit a wall. What I'm trying to accomplish is creating easily manageable decorative items without editing whole java code. I'm parsing a JSON from a server and creating the blocks by using it, at the moment. But, this isn't reasonable by just itself because the assets are not included at the moment. So, I also have to do the same thing for the assets to make it independent of editing the jar, but classes about resources can only access internal resource folder if I'm not mistaken. I don't know it is possible or not, but I might try to override some of them with my own classes&methods. Still, before blindly doing it, I wanted to ask about it. Do you have any suggestions about how I can do this? Or any ideas about problems it might create?

Hello, I'm trying to make a bookshelf like Bibliocraft's. I did the inventory and the block for it but I couldn't find a way to change bookshelf texture dynamically when bookshelf's inventory has books in certain slots. This is an example from Bibliocraft. I have searched the forums, but I couldn't get where I can start. The only thing I found is a guide about Tesellator, but I'm not sure it's what I want. Can you suggest me something about this case? Thanks in advance.
