Missing essential libraries for forge server

Posted November 20, 201311 yr

C:\Users\Louise\Desktop\Joseph\vanilla>java -Xms512M -Xmx1G -jar minecraftforge-

universal-1.6.4-9.11.0.880.jar

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 successfu

Use the installer.

Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE!

This isn't building better software, its trying to grab a place in the commit list of a highly visible github project.

I did use the installer and it didn't work.

If you did then you moved things around and screwed it up.

The libraries folder needs to be there and include the libraries that the installer downloads.

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

I'm using the latest forge and I have the same problem. It seems to me that the forge server jar isn't loading the launchwrapper library as it should. Manually setting the classpath gives me another error. Probabbly because I forgot to include some other libraries.

Ah that is actually a legitimate bug, just a oversight in our switch to the gradle system.

I've fixed it and it will be in the next build.

But pre-gradle builds {such as the one this guy is using} should be fine.

[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)) ) )
