[SOLVED] Issues Setting up Forge 1.8

[Note to Admins]

I get why the captcha is there, but the questions are a bit annoying. I have no clue who "Lex" is, or their full nick name.

Also, a lot of the buttons aren't offset correctly. I have to sometimes click under them, just to click them.

I have previously (2 days ago) set up Forge 1.8 on my Windows 8 x64bit computer and it worked fine, but I had to reinstall Windows because I got a new SSD for my OS boot drive.

I loaded a backup of a fresh installation onto the SSD and afterwards installed JDK 7 x64, JDK 8 x64, and Java 8. I then set my Path for the System settings.

The installers for the JDK setup files I used were the same that I had used on the previous installation of Windows 8.

Minecraft runs fine.

My Vanilla 1.6.4 Modding setup with Eclipse runs fine.

(The setup I followed was MrCrayfish's tutorial for setting up and modding 1.

But my new 1.8 Forge setup with Eclipse would not work correctly. When launched and directed to the 'eclipse' folder for the workspace, Eclipse did not bring up any of the files for the mod whatsoever.

At this point I prompted to redownload the Forge installation as and Source Code files for setting up modding. After attempting to resetup everything, I found that the .bat files for setting up the Workstation and Eclipse was instantly closing. I checked the .bat files to make sure the codes match MrCrayfish's videos, and they did. I then put "gradlew setupDecompWorkspace" into the Command Prompt, and was issued with this error.

After this I kept trying to set it up, I eventually started getting this error,

ERROR: JAVA_HOME is set to an invalid directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Java

Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the location of your Java installation

I attempted this fix, https://forums.techrocket.com/t/solved-java-home-variable-while-installing-forge/151

and I am still getting the long error above.

Any help would be appreciated.

The error above meaning the SSL error? Looks like you are having problems reaching services.gradle.org. Can you visit that in a browser?

Edit: Yep, they are definitely having issues, https://services.gradle.org/ is using an invalid certificate at the moment.

I can visit http://services.gradle.org/ but not the HTTPS

I'm surprised I didn't have this issue with my VPN installed...

You can work around this by changing https to http in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

yep it worked, thanks! ^^

Seems they have fixed it, they misconfigured their server and was sending a cert for one of their other subdomains.

But yes killing the S will make it not care about certs.

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

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

You can add mob spawns using Forge's Biome Modifiers feature. I won't go into details on how to use a data generator for them, but here's a simple example:
{ "type": "forge:add_spawns", // Required "biomes": "#namespace:biome_tag", // Accepts a biome id, [list of biome ids], or #namespace:biome_tag "spawners": { "type": "namespace:entity_type", // Type of mob to spawn "weight": 100, // int, spawn weighting "minCount": 1, // int, minimum pack size "maxCount": 4 // int, maximum pack size } }This JSON file would go somewhere like this: data/modid/forge/biome_modifier/your_biome_modifier.json

How to change player renderer and transform model parts?

I have been trying for a while now to make a custom player renderer, and replace the vanilla player renderer with it. So far I've come up with a custom player renderer class that extends vanilla PlayerRenderer:
package com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer; import com.mojang.blaze3d.vertex.PoseStack; import net.minecraft.client.player.AbstractClientPlayer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.MultiBufferSource; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.player.PlayerRenderer; import net.minecraft.client.renderer.entity.EntityRendererProvider; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.RenderPlayerEvent; import net.minecraftforge.common.MinecraftForge; public class PoseablePlayerRenderer extends PlayerRenderer { public PoseablePlayerRenderer(EntityRendererProvider.Context ctx, boolean slim) { super(ctx, slim); System.out.println("here too"); } @Override public void render(AbstractClientPlayer p_117788_, float p_117789_, float p_117790_, PoseStack poseStack, MultiBufferSource p_117792_, int p_117793_) { System.out.println("didnt get here lol"); model.leftArm.xRot=(float)Math.toRadians(160); super.render(p_117788_, p_117789_, p_117790_, poseStack, p_117792_, p_117793_); } } As you can see, the intended purpose of this is to raise the player's left arm by 160 degrees. However, combined with this logic in ClientModEvents:
@Mod.EventBusSubscriber(modid = MODID, bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD, value = Dist.CLIENT) public static class ClientModEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { EntityRenderers.register((EntityType<? extends AbstractClientPlayer>)(EntityType<?)EntityType.PLAYER, ctx -> new PoseablePlayerRenderer(ctx, true)); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.MAGNESIS_BLOCK.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.REMOTE_BOMB.get(), ThrownItemRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.CRYONIS_ICE.get(), com.FireDude123.BOTW.entity.renderer.BlockDisplayRenderer::new); EntityRenderers.register(Entities.STASIS_BLOCK.get(), FallingBlockRenderer::new); } @SubscribeEvent public static void registerLayerDefinitions(EntityRenderersEvent.RegisterLayerDefinitions event) { event.registerLayerDefinition(new ModelLayerLocation(new ResourceLocation(BOTW.MODID, "paraglider"), "main"), ParagliderLayer::createBodyLayer); } }(I also have a paraglider layer here for something else, it's working perfectly fine, also I used the slim setting because the player is slim in 1.20.1 forge)
This logic isn't replacing the renderer, as far as I can tell. Can someone please advise as to why, and how to fix it?

How to add my mob to another mod's biome in 1.20.1.

I'm on 1.20.1 and was wondering if there was a way to add a mob I am going to make to a other mod's biome (Regions Unexplored in this case). I am trying to figure this out before I start coding the mod. Could someone point me to a good guide on this? I saw some things about biome modifier's but all the resources are either to short, unhelpful or for a different version. Thanks in advance. (i am a beginner but i have java and modding knowledge so this isn't like a "i am new and don't know anything about coding" problem btw)

Help with file conversion

Many Forge users seek help with file conversions. Similarly, managing your health can benefit from structured tools like the https://wellness-app.com/calculator/fasting-calculator/ and a free intermittent fasting calculator. These tools help you plan and personalize your fasting and eating windows based on your lifestyle and goals. By entering your preferred fasting duration and meal times, you receive a tailored schedule that makes intermittent fasting easier to follow. Just as mastering file conversions improves modding success, using a fasting calculator brings clarity and structure to your health routine, supporting better results over time.
