Posted December 18, 201311 yr Hello, I would like to know what was the installer doing exactly to the client ? Is there any way to have a bundled JAR file with both Minecraft and Forge, which can be used as-it, like any of the normal game JARs (like the old mods, having everything bundled into minecraft.jar except the /mods folder) ? I am doing a custom launcher creator and I would like to include Forge into it ^^ Thank you !
December 18, 201311 yr Forge can't be installed to the mods folder like other mods because Forge is what causes mods to be loaded from the mods folder. Forge is a jar mod. 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.
December 18, 201311 yr Author I know x) You misunderstood my question ; I was wondering how to install Forge in the JAR of the game manually, instead of using the installer ? I tried copying the files of the universal Forge JAR into the game JAR but nothing changed...
December 19, 201311 yr Launcher works on "profiles" and "versions". To launch Forge, we need to hack the "version" file. This is done by copying the "version" file and hacking the copy. We then copy the forge jar in as a library, as well as what forge needs. Lastly, another "profile" is made which allows you to just start modded minecraft using it. 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. www.forgeessentials.com Don't PM me, I don't check this account unless I have to.
December 19, 201311 yr Author Okay, thanks Just a few other questions ^^' Should I merge the original JSON and the Forge one or just replace it ? What is serverreq/clientreq ? processArguments ?
December 20, 201311 yr Should be self explanatory, if not you'll have to look in the internals of launchers as we can't help you here. Read the EAQ before posting! OR ELSE!

December 22, 201311 yr https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Installer There is no 'hacking' going on, We just run Forge, using Minecraft as a Library. I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
