Since the death of schematica, people have turned to a somewhat updated version called litematica. The problem is, if you have a forge server, you have to use forge and NOT fabric loader which the mod runs on.

I was wondering if someone with coding knowledge could port a fabric mod to forge for me, for 1.19.1. There is only one person working on litematica and the associated library mod, and they are definitely not prioritizing it.

The death of the schematica mod was a terrible tragedy for the community, I would really appreciate it if someone could do this.

AH HAHAHAHAHA! ðŸ¤£

No seriously though, the two ecosystems are so wildly different that it wouldn't be so much a "port" as "rewritten from scratch."

Forge: make everything compatible because no one touches vanilla code directly. If Forge doesn't make what you need possible, make a PR.
Fabric: we can update to new versions quickly because we only have the basics. So if you need something special, you're going to have to patch the vanilla code yourself, have fun~!

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

 

Exception: If you do not understand Java, I WILL NOT HELP YOU and your thread will get locked.

 

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

That's a misrepresentation and I think you know it. 🙂 Isn't having fun the whole point of writing mods?

I agree they are 2 different philosophies (which you prefer is a matter of taste):

 

Forge: A one-stop shop for everything you need for modding, concentrating on mod compatibility/correctness

Fabric: An a-la-carte (don't pay for what you don't need) approach where the fabric-api concentrates on common use cases and the ecosystem provides more specialised apis, and don't expect it to hold your hand when it comes to writing correct mods

 

Forge itself has something of the a-la-carte with mods like curios, "waila", jei, patchoulli, terrablender, etc. having specialised apis not provided by forge.

It's really a matter of where the 2 draw the line.

 

I agree the difference in philosophy makes porting mods more difficult.

For the original poster, Litematica are already working on it (but they have been for a while): https://github.com/maruohon/litematica/issues/234

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

It also leads to everyone writing their own API addons that duplicate efforts and makes things incompatible with each other because everyone creates a patch that does what they need and only what they need. It also means that when Minecraft updates if you have a mod that relies on one of these additional specialized APIs, you have to wait on that author to update it, even though Fabric's main API is already current.

Neither Waila nor JEI require additional source patches to work with Forge. They have their own APIs, yes, but that's not what I'm referring to when I say that Fabric requires modders create additional hooks inside vanilla code.

Forge makes sure that every mod stays well out of vanilla code so that mods don't conflict with each other and crash the game.

I'm referring to this:
https://fabricmc.net/wiki/start#mixins_asm

Fabric pushes modders towards ASM. ASM is dangerous, complex, and highly fragile. It can lead to code that crashes code that isn't your code with the resulting stack trace having no evidence as to which mod caused the issue! It can DO anything, but it doesn't do it safely.

    • The specific issue is that items in my inventory wont stack properly. For instance, if I punch a tree down to collect wood, the first block I collected goes to my hand. So when I punch the second block of wood to collect it, it drops, but instead of stacking with the piece of wood already in my hand, it goes to the second slot in my hotbar instead. Another example is that I'll get some dirt, and then when I'm placing it down later I'll accidentally place a block where I don't want it. When I harvest it again, it doesn't go back to the stack that it came from on my hotbar, where it should have gone, but rather into my inventory. That means that if my inventory is full, then the dirt wont be picked up even though there should be space available in the stack I'm holding. The forge version I'm using is 40.3.0, for java 1.18.2. I'll leave the mods I'm using here, and I'd appreciate it if anybody can point me in the right direction in regards to figuring out how to fix this. I forgot to mention that I think it only happens on my server but I'm not entirely sure. PLEASE HELP ME!

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
