1.18 forge client will not start,

Posted December 1, 20213 yr

This is the error that I'm getting.

WARNING: Unknown module: cpw.mods.securejarhandler specified to --add-exports
WARNING: Unknown module: cpw.mods.securejarhandler specified to --add-opens
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.module.FindException: Module org.objectweb.asm.util not found, required by org.openjdk.nashorn

Tried various java versions, 8 and 16 to no avail. even tried bellsoft liberica full jre and openjre

No clue what is going on and why there are such problems with Java now, seems like Oracle took their ball and wants to go home with the Java project.

So many issues with various versions of it. Any advice? Thanks,.

Unknown module securejarhandler implies that some libraries were missed during the installation.

I suggest you redownload the latest installer and run it again.

I did download the latest forge-1.18-38.0.6-installer and installed it correctly into the right place.

Also downloaded 38.0.5 to test (didn't work) and downloaded 38.0.0

None of those worked.

It seems like the forge installer is not downloading all of the libraries. I am looking in the versions folders and the forge folder is very small like under 1mb

do you know what is causing that?

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
