MC 1.8.9 Mod Installation Issues

Posted January 7, 20169 yr

I have Minecraft Forge for MC 1.8.9 installed, but whenever I try to install a new mod for MC 1.8.9 in my game, Forge gives me an error and won't run.

The error is similar to this:

---------------------------------------

MrCrayfish's Furniture Mod (cfm) wants Minecraft (1.8, 1.

The File 'ForgeModLoader-Client-0.log' contains more information

---------------------------------------

First of all, I cannot fin any such log file on my computer, amd second, this is happening with the last 10 mods I have tried to install.

I have tried mods from the following places:

- minecraftexe.com

- mod-minecraft.net

- 9minecraft.net and

- minecraftsix.com

Ideas?

NONE of those sites are where you should be getting anything from.

Those are all sites that do nothing but steal modders work, rehost it themselves and potentially wrap them in adware that installed other crap on your machine.

Get things from their official sites.

And the log is in your %AppData%/.minecraft/logs folder.

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

I went to the %AppData%/.minecraft/logs folder and there is no such file.

That is beside the point though. You mentioned going to the official mod sites. Which sites are those?

The log file is called fml-client-latest.log for 1.7+. ForgeModLoader-Client-0.log was the pre-1.7 name.

Most mods have a thread on Minecraft Forum with download links. Many mods host their downloads on Curse/CurseForge.

Please don't PM me to ask for help. Asking your question in a public thread preserves it for people who are having the same problem in the future.

Don't you think it is odd that the Minecraft Forge 1.8.9 gave me a log file name for a pre Minecraft 1.7 version?

Is that a bug? You would think that Forge would know what version of Minecraft I am running.

That particular GUI's text just hasn't been updated since it was first added in 1.3.2. The file name in the message is hardcoded, it's not determined from the current logging configuration.

It's probably worth reporting this as a bug, though.

Edit: Reported here.

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.
