Compiling against 2 versions of an API

Posted June 28, 201411 yr

I am working on a mod that compiles against two versions of the BuildCraft API, mostly because they changed a lot between 5.x and 6.0.x. However, I am having problems making Gradle work to do this. I can't get it to download both APIs from the Forge Maven (it just downloads the newest one), and after putting one of the APIs in src/api/java and keeping the other one in the dependencies block in my build.gradle, my IDE said that all was good, but Gradle failed on recompile. The API in src/api/java compiled correctly, but Gradle still used the API defined in the dependencies block to compile against. Is there any way that I can accomplish this, or should I just drop the 5.x API support?

Just drop 5.x and use 6. Its a no brainer, dont mix and match api versions -.-

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

I expected that, but the thing is, I didn't originally write this, so the guy that did somehow got it to compile (I believe without FG), so I was kinda wondering how... but yea, totally expected that.

Sorry for necro, but this is one of the first search results for this issue. Possible cause is Forge checking for zlib (the expected hash) and not accepting zlib-ng (the actual hash):

One possible workaround (aside from swapping zlib-ng for zlib which might cause other problems on your system) would be to use the prism flatpak.

Bad pathfinding for big mobs (1.21.1)

Well I was mainly trying to figure out whether or not I was doing something wrong and if it could be fixed by just adding something (e.g. maybe I was missing an Attribute or something like that), but if that's not the case then my only option is to use custom pathfinding. If someone has one that functions and is willing to share it, then I'd gladly use that instead of suffering through making my own.

how do i change my username with forge?

In the future I do plan on adding optional OAuth to the new launcher in ForgeGradle 7. But yes, using --username and offline mode is a good workaround to not using accounts in the development environment, especially considering that the server is on LAN.

how do i change my username with forge?

I came across this post looking for an answer to the OP's question. My use case is a classroom with one server in LAN and many clients of course participants that want to test their mods.

The answer is:
On the client
Edit build.gradle. In the section client add the following line before the closing curly brace: args '--username', '<YOUR NAME>'. Replace <YOUR NAME> with your actual username. E.g. if your username is lmoellendorf the client section should look like this:

client { // Comma-separated list of namespaces to load gametests from. Empty = all namespaces. property 'forge.enabledGameTestNamespaces', mod_id args '--username', 'lmoellendorf' }
Make sure that each username is unique on your server.

Start your Minecraft Client. Click Multiplayer then Direct Conection. Here enter the Server address which is the local IP of your server followed by colon : followed by the default port 25565. E.g. if your server's IP is 192.168.0.7 the entry should look like this:

192.168.0.7:25565
On the server

Be sure that in run/server.properties the line online-mode is set to false:

online-mode=false
