Officially Supported Java Versions

Posted June 13, 20214 yr

Hi,

maybe a very easy question, but I just couldn't find a direct documentation of which java Versions are officially Supported by Forge.

However I have seen from issues and other posts that apparently versions 8-15 are supported, however 16 is not.

Is this correct?

Is there an official documentation of this?

Regards,

FatalMerlin

In general you should use the version that comes with the Minecraft launcher, as that is what Forge will use as the main target.

But you are correct, currently 8-15 are supported. With 1.17 this will change to require Java 16 (this is a change from vanilla Minecraft).

Many thanks @diesieben07! Is this or could this be documented somewhere? Forge Docs (Requirements) or GitHub readme.md?

The official documentation, IS minecraft itself.
Forge only ever officially supports the version of Java that Minecraft was built for.
Any other version of java may or may not work. There is no guaranteed.
Forge 1.16 DOES work on 8->17. But you have to do some extra things for 16+ And thus is not supported.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

I'm on 1.20.1 and was wondering if there was a way to add a mob I am going to make to a other mod's biome (Regions Unexplored in this case). I am trying to figure this out before I start coding the mod. Could someone point me to a good guide on this? I saw some things about biome modifier's but all the resources are either to short, unhelpful or for a different version. Thanks in advance. (i am a beginner but i have java and modding knowledge so this isn't like a "i am new and don't know anything about coding" problem btw)

Dealing with modded server issues can be a real headache been there! At least you can keep your look stress-free with a fresh low taper fade.

Cobblemon invalid player data

Hi everyone, I keep getting "invalid player data" when trying to log onto my friend's server. Log analysis says to remove Night Lights and ImmediatelyFast, but that doesn't work. Any insight is appreciated

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

I've struggled with this for way too long now, so I have decided to ask for some assistance here because there is almost no information about this online.

I made a hostile mob and I built it like this:
public static final Supplier<EntityType<Bunyip>> BUNYIP = ENTITY_TYPES.register("bunyip" , () -> EntityType.Builder. of(Bunyip::new, MobCategory.MONSTER).sized(3f, 2.5f).eyeHeight(1.75f).build("bunyip"));

However, I have discovered that a BoundingBox of 3 is too big for the vanilla pathfinding to work well. In fact, anything bigger than a block will not work well. This is especially noticeable when having it chase a player in a negative X and/or negative Z direction. The mob starts spinning, walking backwards, walking diagonally, etc.

I am using the Goal system:
protected void registerGoals() { super.registerGoals(); this.goalSelector.addGoal(1, new MeleeAttackGoal(this, 1.25, true)); this.targetSelector.addGoal(2, new NearestAttackableTargetGoal<>(this, Player.class, true, true)); }

This does not seem to be a me issue as the ravager, one of the biggest vanilla mobs, also struggles with proper pathfinding. I am a bit familiar with how Minecraft's pathfinding works, but not enough to make a pathfinding system from scratch (or at least not in a reasonable amount of time). Is there any way to fix this with some tweaks or will I have to make a custom pathfinding system?
