Cannot install Forge 1.20.1 - Installer doesnt even starts

Posted February 3, 20241 yr

Hi,

i just tried to install Forge 1.20.1 on my PC (Windows), but the installer does not even start. There is a log file which says the following:

JVM info: Eclipse Adoptium - 21.0.2 - 21.0.2+13-LTS
java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Current Time: 03/02/2024 20:25:11
Exception in thread "main" 
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component
    at java.base/java.io.File.<init>(File.java:425)
    at net.minecraftforge.installer.SimpleInstaller.main(SimpleInstaller.java:78)

I have already multiple other versions installed, which work all fine.

1.12.2 , 1.16.4 , 1.18.2 , 1.19.4 , 1.20.4

they all work and were installed fine. How come this one wouldnt work ?

Any info is appreciated.
Thanks.

Use Java 17 instead of Java 21

Try my Modpack

Hi @TileEntity

How come other versions, older and even newer work with that version I have ? Not that I install Java 17 now, and then this doesnt work with other Game versions.
Do I need to uninstall the 21er now, and then install 17er, or does it just overinstall it ? With Oracle Java (which for some reason atm doesnt work on my PC) installing a different version, it usually asked me if I want to get rid of the old one before.
Thanks

JVM info: Eclipse Adoptium - 17.0.10 - 17.0.10+7
java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Hmm ....

Just tried another Forge version install, 1.17.1 , same error. Could it be a problem with the connection to where the server files are downloaded from by the installer ?

The log is what I posted above in the Code tags. That file is created when the installer "tries" to run. More I dont have.

Temporarily switch to the Technic Launcher and install a clean forge modpack and use this as working base

Dealing with modded server issues can be a real headache been there! At least you can keep your look stress-free with a fresh low taper fade.

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.
