Updating the recommended release?

Posted November 17, 201311 yr

I am asking for a new recommended release of forge to be pushed.

My reasoning:

Several mods only update to recommended versions of forge, on the theory that if everyone is working with known, working versions, they will work together. And I can understand that forge is a moving target.

Right now, for example, the recommended version is just before a wildcard dictionary change that breaks the ability of EBXL and others to work with their wood planks properly. But that feature must add other abilities

And then other mods add things. Not just bug fixes, but features that they need. Mystcraft has two such, I believe; others have their own. These are examples of mods that needed improvements, and are not compatible with the recommended version because it is out of date.

Right now, there seem to be a lot of cases of mods that are not compatible with the current versions, and mods that need something more recent than recommended. And it's still, apparently, a long way off before 1.7.

So, can we please get a new recommended version soon?

===

For the future, is it possible (is there enough manpower) for forge's development to have two forks/branches -- when a new recommended build comes out, the "main" or "master" branch only gets bug fixes, rather than things that will break or alter behaviors; and the "development" branch gets the new API and things that would break mods. Then, a mod can indicate if it needs the master branch, or the dev branch, and it might be easier to tell which mods will work together.

Jeb! The sheep! The fence pens, they do nothing still leak!

1.7 is not a long way off, it's rather close.

We will be doing a final wrap up 1.6.4 recommended build before we switch over to 1.7 development.

Like we do for every MC version. That will be coming soon

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

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?

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Unfortunately, it seems that Invision has decided that everything is locked down and no longer customizable.
Their attitude to anyone who wants to edit anything is 'Just accept it we know best and screw you for even insinuating that you want to customize your own site'
So there isn't much we can do about the layout of actual features.
Best bet for the editor is that psudo markdown works, so typing ` around words make code blocks.
Only options is to start writing bespoke modifications to the forum's php code itself, which I really don't want to do.
I would of stayed on v4 but the version of PHP that it supports is going EOL and Invision has stated they have no intentions of upgrading it.
They also removed the central community for finding plugins/community addons.
Overall it is my feeling that they are intentionally trying to kill off self-hosting communities by removing features and locking things down, in an effort to force everyone into using their paid hosting services.

My HOPE is that someone in the overall forum community will write an exporter for Invision to something like SMF. Which is what we were originally on before old team members decided enterprise software is better.
