For 1.7.10 or any other version. Pretty much the title. In the interests of disclosure, I asked this question last year.

 

For personal use, I'm playing with expanding a data type. In the process, I've ended up changing something that was stored as a byte to a short, and storing it as two bytes, which necessitates a new function to set the upper byte.

 

To make sure that it's working properly, I'd like to build a preexisting mod against the modified version of Forge, using a couple functions I have added to support that change.

 

How can I build an existing mod (or even a new one) against this edited copy of Forge?

 

I don't know enough about Gradle to go digging around in the files to see, and I'd prefer to avoid reading several thousand lines worth of ForgeGradle code for questionable return if there's an easier way.

 

If that's not possible, is there at least a way to replace the userdev jar that would otherwise be downloaded from the Forge Maven repository with (the modified) one that's stored locally?

You should not be editing forge/minecraft directly if why would you need to build it, no one will be able to use your mod as they would beed the modified version anyway. If you want a feature added to forge then submit a pull request on their github 0age with the code.

Developing for 1.7.10 is not supported. Update.

Beyond this 'expanding data types' is a rats nest that isn't worth going down.

Looking at your old posts, there is no reason you need to expand biome ids. There are only ever 256 possible biomes per chunk. Fits perfectly in a byte.

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

      Items are not stacking correctly

      By M4rKitosFdF · Posted

      The specific issue is that items in my inventory wont stack properly. For instance, if I punch a tree down to collect wood, the first block I collected goes to my hand. So when I punch the second block of wood to collect it, it drops, but instead of stacking with the piece of wood already in my hand, it goes to the second slot in my hotbar instead. Another example is that I'll get some dirt, and then when I'm placing it down later I'll accidentally place a block where I don't want it. When I harvest it again, it doesn't go back to the stack that it came from on my hotbar, where it should have gone, but rather into my inventory. That means that if my inventory is full, then the dirt wont be picked up even though there should be space available in the stack I'm holding. The forge version I'm using is 40.3.0, for java 1.18.2. I'll leave the mods I'm using here, and I'd appreciate it if anybody can point me in the right direction in regards to figuring out how to fix this. I forgot to mention that I think it only happens on my server but I'm not entirely sure. PLEASE HELP ME!

      Forge 1.21 – How can I add a custom HUD Overlay (Item Icon + Text)

      By OhOhIWontLetUGo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!

      [Help] How to update a mod from 1.19.2 to 1.20.1

      By Ugdhar · Posted

      The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
