When my son tries to mix the soulsand and clay nothing happens. 

There are no error messages and the screen information is as follows:

Minecraft 1.3.2

FML v3.1.35.394

Minecraft Forge 4.2.5.303

2 mods loaded, 2 mods active

I have forced Minecraft to load a clean .jar many times and followed the installation instructions by downloading the "Minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.303 WinRAR ZIP file" and copying the files into the minecraft .jar, delete the Meta.inf and place the "Minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.303" as the only file in the "mods" folder.

When minecraft loads it says that Forge is setting up the environment and it loads the librarys.

It appears that everything is working as it should be but it just does not work.

The machine is running a 32 bit copy of Windows XP and has the very latest upgrade of 32 bit Java.  The "options" say that it would work better with a 64 bit version of java but for now that is impossible.

Does anyone have any idea of how to fix this?

I am not fluent with "Forums" or "Forge" or even "Minecraft", I am just an "old goat" trying to fix this game for my boys because they love "Minecraft" and they think Clay Soldiers" is the very best mod.

This thread makes me sad because people just post copy-paste-ready code when it's obvious that the OP has little to no programming experience. This is not how learning works.

Thank you for answering so quickly.  I used the link that you provided to instruct me in loading "Forge".  I keep thinking that I'm doing something wrong so I repeat the process over and over. I think it may have been Einstein who said "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".  I am not insane, just ignorant!  I can see two possible departures or questions with the instructions:

1) You state the the Forge mod is a "jar" mod.  When I put the downloaded file in the "mods"folder it is in a "zip" file format.  Is that a problem?  I have even tried to unzip the contents of the archive into the mods folder but that didn't help.  I have only the archive in the mods folder at this time. 

2)At one time I had installed "modloader" to get "Too many items" to work.  There are some modloader text files in the minecfaft folder but that is all.  Do those files have to be deleted?  The clean Minecraft .jar file has eliminated "Too many items" and any other mods we may have tried to use.  My sons do not care about anything but your "Clay Soldiers" and I am failing them at being able to help them.  I would be very grateful if you could give me a little guidance.  Thank you.

1. Forge doesn't go in the mods folder! It goes into the minecraft.jar like ModLoader (but not install them together, be sure you downloaded the universal package of Forge, not the source one). After that done (and deleted META_INF of course), start it once. If it crashes, first be sure the mods folder is empty. If it's empty and it still crashes, download the jar files mentioned in the instructions and put them into the lib folder. Then Minecraft should start with Forge. After that done, put the Clay Soldiers Mod jar file into the mods folder and (re-)start Minecraft. Done.

2. You got that clean jar by force update, do you? If yes, you should be fine. Don't install ModLoader with Forge! For a replacement of TMI (Too Many Items) which completely works with Forge, use NEI (Not Enough Items). Google it and follow the installation instructions for it exactly.

You are wonderful!  Thank you for your help and prompt reply. I tried your suggestion and emptied the "mods" folder.  When I started Minecraft with the empty "mods" folder we had the same problem.  Everything looks like it should be working but when we try to make soldiers nothing happens.  It is frustrating. 

  I feel ignorant but I must ask how to make the forge file a ".jar" file.  My file is [minecraftforge-universal-4.2.5.303] it is a WinRAR ZIP file not a ".jar" file unless they are considered to be the same thing.  Is the .zip file a .jar file?  I am embarrassed to ask such a question because it really parades my ignorance.  Thank you for being patient with me and for offering the way to get "not enough items".  My boys are excited because we feel certain that we can make this work.  Thank you.

Okay, again. This is in the install tutorial I gave you:

  • Download the recommented universal build (or the latest if the recommented doesn't work for you, but NOT the source!) from here: LINK
  • Open that archive with an archiver. I recommend 7zip.
  • Open your minecraft.jar in your .minecraft/bin directory with your chosen archiver (7zip)
  • Copy all files from the downloaded forge package into the minecraft.jar
  • Delete your META_INF in your minecraft.jar, if you're running Windows or Linux. If you're on a Mac, then go into the META_INF and delete only the files which begin with MOJANG! Leave the rest untouched.
  • Close all open archiver windows and start your Minecraft client once. Forge needs to download some libraries and will set up the environment the first time. If you don't have an internet connection or it's really bad at the time (or it crashes / blackscreens at the start), go to the point "Download and install needed libraries".
  • After it has been set up by Forge, close your Minecraft. It is now ready for Forge / FML mods (ModLoader mods, too)!

 

Follow each step exactly.

If you have a question about one of these points, ask.

 

 

PS: You can also use a launcher. If you rather want to use a custom launcher (MultiMC or MagicLauncher), here are the instructions for MultiMC:

  • Download MultiMC from here: LINK
  • Follow the install instructions there (title: "How do I install it?").
  • Download the current version of Clay Soldiers. It should be a jar file. Don't open it! Just save it somewhere you can find it again later!
  • After starting MultiMC, click the white-paper-with-star icon (the first from left) in the toolbar to add a new instance.
  • Give your instance a name (here for example "Minecraft")
  • After clicking "OK" or pressing enter, you should see a new icon on the left side with your instance "Minecraft". Either double click it now or click once on it and press the "Play" button on the right.
  • Enter your login information and click "OK" afterwards. It will download a new Minecraft and after that it will start it.
  • Close the opened Minecraft window and click on your instance again (if it isn't selected). Click then on "Edit Mods"
  • You'll see a new window with different tabs. "Jar Mods" should be active. Click here on the button "MCForge", select "minecraftforge-universal-recommented" and click "OK". It will download Minecraft Forge for you.
  • Start your instance again, so Forge can setup the environment for it and create the mods folder.
  • After Forge has downloaded the libraries, close the opened Minecraft window and click on your instance again (if it isn't selected). Click then on "Edit Mods" (again)
  • Click now on the tab "Mods Folder", click on "Add", go to the directory where you saved the Clay Soldiers jar, select it and click on "Open".
  • Click on "Close" now and start your instance a third time. Enjoy playing with Clay Soldiers!

    • So, we have a 5 player server running the Hexxit modpack, with the sole addition of one extra mod, CustomNPCs. Something about CustomNPCs doesn't play nice with the server. Only three players are playing it, all of them have CustomNPCs installed in their own game files, and we have CustomNPCs installed in our server. We can all hold the tools and use the custom recipes added by the mod or by players using the NPC spawner tool. However, I'm the only one who can actually use them. If either other player uses them, they immediately crash and are booted off the server. I can make NPCs, the NPCs can detect them and attack them, all that, but they cannot see them, nor can they interact with them in any way. What could be causing this? I will add, as far as I know, I'm the only one to have run the modpack in single player as well as in multiplayer, I believe the other two have only run it in multiplayer for the server. Could this possibly be part of the problem? Any help would be appreciated.
    • Hello, Thank you so much for the suggestion, I will create a post.
    • You're using the wrong FACING property in Mechanism#getStateForPlacement, BlockStateProperties.FACING instead of Mechanism.FACING, HorizontalDirectionalBlock.FACING or BlockStateProperties.HORIZONTAL_FACING (which all refer to the same value). The former includes all six Direction values, the latter only includes the four horizontal values.
    • quiero que me digan como hago para instalar bien el java y forge nada mas hasta el momento lo hice pero java no ejecuta el forge   
    • Mod Idea: Server-Specific Mod Disabler & Anti-Cheat Helper Overview: This mod allows players to seamlessly play on Minecraft servers without worrying about banned or incompatible mods. It automatically disables specific mods based on the server's configuration, ensuring that players are only using allowed mods. Additionally, it provides a safeguard against hacking mods by instantly blocking them from being used, promoting fair gameplay on multiplayer servers. Key Features: 1. Server-Specific Mod Disabling: Automatic Mod Detection: The mod will automatically detect which mods are allowed or blocked on a particular server. Server Configurable Lists: Server admins can maintain a list of banned or whitelisted mods, which will be dynamically applied when a player joins. Player Customization: Players can choose whether the mod should automatically disable specific mods when joining servers, or allow them to be used based on the server's settings. 2. Anti-Cheat and Hack Protection: Instant Hack Detection: The mod will automatically identify and block known hacking mods when joining a server. If a player attempts to join with a hacking mod, the server can receive an alert, and the mod will prevent the player from joining until the mod is removed. Real-Time Monitoring: The mod will continuously monitor the player's mods while on the server, ensuring that no banned or suspicious mods are activated. 3. Community-Driven Mod Management: Custom Blocklists and Whitelists: Server admins can manage custom mod lists directly through a configuration file or via an in-game interface. These lists would allow mods to be either whitelisted, banned, or marked for temporary disabling. Integration with Modding Communities: The mod can gather mod compatibility reports from other players, sharing knowledge about which mods work together and which are problematic. 4. Player-Friendly Experience: Less Hassle for Players: With this mod, players no longer need to manually disable or enable mods when switching between servers. The mod takes care of everything for them. Seamless Gameplay: Players can freely switch between servers with different rules and mod requirements without worrying about compatibility issues or getting banned for using the wrong mods. 5. Open-Source and Extensible: Community Contributions: The mod will be open-source, allowing the Minecraft community to contribute by adding new features, bug fixes, and support for more mods. Customizable for Future Versions: The mod will be updated to support future Minecraft versions, ensuring long-term usability. Additional Ideas for Future Expansion: 1. Integration with Minecraft Servers (Optional): Server-Side Mod Configuration: In addition to client-side mod management, server owners can opt to install a server-side version of this mod, which can enforce mod restrictions for all players. Server Feedback System: When a mod is disabled, the server can automatically provide feedback to the player about why it was disabled and whether they need to install an alternative. 2. Donation and Support System: Monetization for Future Development: The mod could offer a donation-based system or a paid premium version with advanced features like real-time support or a larger mod compatibility database. Community Support: Players could report issues directly through the mod, ensuring faster resolutions and support from the mod development community. Benefits: 1. For Players: No Need for Constant Mod Configuration: Players no longer need to manually switch between different mod sets based on the server they join. Reduced Risk of Getting Banned: The mod automatically prevents the use of banned or incompatible mods, reducing the risk of being kicked or banned from servers. Hassle-Free Experience: The mod removes the need for players to learn about different server mod policies, providing a smoother experience overall. 2. For Server Owners: Simplified Server Management: Server admins no longer need to constantly monitor which mods players are using. The mod ensures players are only using compliant mods. Better Anti-Cheat Measures: Server owners can trust that hacking mods will be automatically blocked, improving server security. Easy Integration: With a simple configuration file, server owners can quickly set up their mod policies and get started. 3. For the Minecraft Community: Encourages Fair Play: The mod promotes fair gameplay by automatically preventing the use of cheating mods, ensuring a better multiplayer environment. Better Mod Compatibility: As the mod grows, it can help players and server owners discover which mods are compatible with others, making the modding ecosystem more reliable. Potential Challenges and Solutions: 1. Resistance from Players Using Hacking Mods: Solution: Allow server admins to configure a warning system where players can receive notifications about the mod being blocked before they are kicked. This gives them a chance to fix their setup. 2. Keeping Mod Lists Up-to-Date: Solution: Implement a community-driven reporting system where players and server owners can submit their mod lists, keeping the database current with new mods and changes in mod compatibility. 3. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Solution: Ensure that the mod is built to support both Java and Bedrock editions (if applicable) by using cross-platform modding tools and making the mod adaptable to both versions. Conclusion: This mod has the potential to significantly improve the Minecraft multiplayer experience by making it easier for players to manage mods and preventing hacks from ruining gameplay. By focusing on server-specific mod management and providing automated protection from cheating mods, this mod could change how Minecraft servers handle modding and create a safer, more enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
