Forge install errors

Posted December 17, 201212 yr

I extracted the forge universal contents into the Minecraft server.jar, made a start.bat file, ran it, and it installed a few folders, then stops completely. I re-tried it a few times, and now I can't even run the start.bat file (need to run the Minecraft_server.jar to do anything) and still just fails every time after installing a few folders. I've looked around a lot on here and couldn't find a working solution to my problem. I have tried both 1.4.4 and 1.4.5 (with the proper server.jars) but they all act the same. Below is my error log. Any help is much appreciated, I just want to get my server up and running.

There can be a lot of things that can cause this, all of whch are user error:

1) Make sure you don't ahve any !'s in the path to the folder

2) You don't need to extract or move anything from the forge zip to the server jar, just run the forge zip with minecraft_server.jar in the same folder and it'll work.

This issue is that java cant find all of forge's stuff, so.. you somehow installed it wrong.

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

I did have an exclamation mark in the folder, so I just got rid of that. The only thing I don't get is how do I run forge itself? It is just a .zip file so all I know how to do is open it to view the files inside, and saw in all the instructions to move the files into the server jar.

Instructions are on the wiki.

There's an EAQ for a reason. Read it!

Oh, and logs OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!

After re-reading the wiki, I realized I had been renaming the file incorrectly. I was adding .jar to the end, but my folder options were hiding the .zip extension, so I was just making it say .jar.zip lol. Changed the settings and it installed all the files correctly : )

Still having problems with my server (ran the server, turned off my firewall, and still nobody can connect to it). These are not Forge related so I shall look for some help elsewhere now.

Thanks for all the help!

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
