I understand that 1.12.2 is no longer supported, but can't you at least host the library files?

At this stage the Server Installer for Forge 1.12.2 (latest build and older builks) is broken - it doesn't download all the files even though it says it does (Client still works, server files don't)

I've tested on Linux installer and Windows installer, both are incomplete.

Forge 1.12.2 is still widely used by the community - if you no longer wish to host the files for it, can we, the community, host it for our community to download and use?

 

When running the installer:

You can delete this installer file now if you wish

Now I run Forge Server Jar:

23/10/2021 We appear to be missing one or more essential library files.
You will need to add them to your server before FML and Forge will run successfully.
23/10/2021 java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch

I looked in the Library folder, it only has 2 folders and 2 files. Normally it has around 20 files.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It all works now!

Appreciate your assistance
