Hi guys,

Thanks for your amazing api.

I'm a simple player and I'm thinking about that the mods which uses Modloader and ModloaderMp won't be updated to support new forge Modloader(aka FML).So why don't you write the new method and class to support the old mods.I think maybe you can just provide the same api but new in code.

By this kind of work we can use either new mods and older mods.Then we can wait the mod makers to port their mod to forge modloader supported.

I don't know if this suggestion have been sent or not.I'm very sorry if it has already been sent by others cause my English is poor.

The fuck?

1) FML supports ML

2) MLMP is crap and incompatible with ML, so we dont care about it

3) If Risu fucks up updating, we will offically pulling support for ML mods

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

why is FML better then MLMP and modloader????

 

As far as I know, FML is a replacement for ModLoader for the reason of making sure Forge isn't tied down to any other prerequisites, thus making updates a little easier (plus less for the end user to install and potentially screw up).

 

MLMP? Pardon my french here, but it's the shit. From what I've read the Forge devs got sick of how bugridden it is and how slow it is to update, so they discarded it as a prerequisite. Plus according to a few mod devs, I've heard that FML is a little more flexible to work with.

Mod authors have the right to use any dependencies they wish. By that same token, it is the mod author's responsibility to make sure they properly depend on those dependencies.

 

In other words, if a mod is still dependent on ML/MLMP... you can code up all the code in FML you want. It's not gonna make it compatible, because he's using a totally different SRC to write his code. And, at this point, the only reason the mod author isn't switching to FML is if he has a specific reason why he isn't... like if he has a personal grudge against Forge or some such. In which case, making it compatible with FML is directly contradictory to the mod author's wishes.

 

tl;dr version: The only way the mod will be FML compliant is if the mod author codes it that way. So talk to the mod author. Mods are written to the specifications of the SRC and API, not the other way around.

      Forge 54.1.1 Missing Textures please help

      By xLorkin · Posted

      Hi, i'm really having problems trying to set the texture to my custom item. I thought i'm doing everything correctly, but all i see is the missing texture block for my item. I am trying this for over a week now and getting really frustrated. The only time i could make the texture work, was when i used an older Forge version (52.0.1) for Minecraft (1.21.4). Was there a fundamental change for textures and models somewhere between versions that i'm missing? I started with Forge 54.1.0 and had this problem, so in my frustration i tried many things: Upgrading to Forge 54.1.1, created multiple new projects, workspaces, redownloaded everything and setting things up multiple times, as it was suggested in an older thread. Therea are no errors in the console logs, but maybe i'm blind, so i pasted the console logs to pastebin anyway: https://pastebin.com/zAM8RiUN The only time i see an error is when i change the models JSON file to an incorrect JSON which makes sense and that suggests to me it is actually reading the JSON file.   I set the github repository to public, i would be so thankful if anyone could take a look and tell me what i did wrong: https://github.com/xLorkin/teleport_pug_forge   As a note: i'm pretty new to modding, this is my first mod ever. But i'm used to programming. I had some up and downs, but through reading the documentation, using google and experimenting, i could solve all other problems. I only started modding for Minecraft because my son is such a big fan and wanted this mod.

      New Website for Quick & Easy Minecraft Info

      By MinecraftSearch · Posted

      Hello fellow Minecrafters! I recently returned to Minecraft and realized I needed a wiki that displays basic information easily and had great user navigation. That’s why I decided to build: MinecraftSearch — a site by a Minecraft fan, for Minecraft fans. Key Features So Far Straight-to-the-Point Info: No extra fluff; just the essentials on items, mobs, recipes, loot and more. Clean & Intuitive Layout: Easy navigation so you spend less time scrolling and more time playing. Optimized Search: Search for anything—items, mobs, blocks—and get results instantly. What I’m Thinking of Adding More data/information: Catch chances for fishing rod, traveling villager trades, biomes info and a lot more. The website is still under development and need a lot more data added. Community Contributions: Potential for user-uploaded tips for items/mobs/blocks in the future. Feature Requests Welcome: Your ideas could shape how the wiki evolves! You can see my roadmap at the About page https://minecraftsearch.com/about I’d love for you to check out MinecraftSearch and see if it helps you find the info you need faster. Feedback is crucial—I want to develop this further based on what the community needs most, so please let me know what you think. Thanks, and happy crafting!

      Speedup forge startup?

      By Paint_Ninja · Posted

      That's just plain wrong... newer versions are much better optimised and start a lot faster than 1.8.9, both Forge and Minecraft itself. Comparing Fabric 1.21 with Forge 1.8 is like comparing apples and oranges... one's brand new and the other's over a decade old.
