Renaming files okay?

Guessing I can't just ask you to humor me.

 

It's for my automation thing. I know it's been a hella long time since I mentioned it. Got put on the back burner due to updates coming slowly at the time of testing it.

I got everything working except for automating LiteLoader. I'm asking here because I was wondering if something simple like renaming some Forge files would allow LiteLoader to be just once a Minecraft version with the Forge being a set name while being overwritten with the latest stuffs for that MC version.

I promise to withhold the scripts if you request me to, but I'll understand if you choose not to help.

If anything, at least posting this would help me remember to get to it.

Soo... I decided to go the alternative route of having a preexisting LiteLoader version .json with minor edits for easy replacement to target the latest Forge installed earlier in the chain, and I stumbled upon custom version names as a pleasant side effect. Still on topic, so posting here in case anyone is interested.

Okay, Custom version names takes a hella lotta work by hand, but I think it looks nice (probably just me) and, for automation, it actually serves a very important purpose of a static file path (still a hella lotta first time prep though.)

 

.minecraft\versions\CUSTOM NAME\CUSTOM NAME.json

"id": "CUSTOM NAME",

 

Note to Self: Need to check if "inheritsFrom" targets within the versions folder. That was actually what I meant to ask.

Didn't know what's what at the time.

I already known about LiteLoader extending Forge from the installer window. That's what I did to get the preexisting LiteLoader .json.

What I needed was a simple way to tell LiteLoader to target a new Forge from Powershell. Right now, I have it set to place the variables I used for the Forge into the "inheritsFrom" of the template LiteLoader .json like it would be normally, and overwrite the one in the versions folder.

I know the version selector in the launcher works with a custom "id," so I need to check if "inheritsFrom" also works with a custom "id."

Just install forge and put liteloader in the mods folder.

 

Ohh... Seems I needed to extract the jar from the installer jar, or get the non-installer jar from Jenkins to make it work.

Couldn't just drop the installer jar into the mods folder.

 

In my defense, dropping a jar from within a jar into the mods folder is kinda an odd thing to try, and I had no idea what "Jenkins" is.

Finally got around to trying my original plan of renaming the jar, and it seems to have worked.

In hindsight, it is kinda pointless trying to save drive space via forcing the newer versions to overwrite the old. The space saved is negligible, and not much reason to poke around that folder.

 

 

.minecraft\versions\VER\VER.json

.....Under libraries, replace "net.minecraftforge:forge:#.#.#-##.##.#.####" with "net.minecraftforge:forge:CUSTOM"

.minecraft\libraries\net\minecraftforge\forge\CUSTOM\forge-CUSTOM

    • I'm using Modrinth as a launcher for a forge modpack on 1.20.1, and can't diagnose the issue on the crash log myself. Have tried repairing the Minecraft instillation as well as removing a few mods that have been problematic for me in the past to no avail. Crash log is below, if any further information is necessary let me know. Thank you! https://paste.ee/p/k6xnS
    • Hey folks. I am working on a custom "Mecha" entity (extended from LivingEntity) that the player builds up from blocks that should get modular stats depending on the used blocks. e.g. depending on what will be used for the legs, the entity will have a different jump strength. However, something unexpected is happening when trying to override a few of LivingEntity's functions and using my new own "Mecha" specific fields: instead of their actual instance-specific value, the default value is used (0f for a float, null for an object...) This is especially strange as when executing with the same entity from a point in the code specific to the mecha entity, the correct value is used. Here are some code snippets to better illustrate what I mean: /* The main Mecha class, cut down for brevity */ public class Mecha extends LivingEntity { protected float jumpMultiplier; //somewhere later during the code when spawning the entity, jumpMultiplier is set to something like 1.5f //changing the access to public didn't help @Override //Overridden from LivingEntity, this function is only used in the jumpFromGround() function, used in the aiStep() function, used in the LivingEntity tick() function protected float getJumpPower() { //something is wrong with this function //for some reason I can't correctly access the fields and methods from the instanciated entity when I am in one of those overridden protected functions. this is very annoying LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 0f return this.jumpMultiplier * super.getJumpPower(); } //The code above does not operate properly. Written as is, the entity will not jump, and adding debug logs shows that when executing the code, the value of this.jumpMultiplier is 0f //in contrast, it will be the correct value when done here: @Override public void tick() { super.tick(); //inherited LivingEntity logic //Custom logic LogUtils.getLogger().info(String.valueOf(this.jumpMultiplier))) //will print 1.5f } } My actual code is slightly different, as the jumpMuliplier is stored in another object (so I am calling "this.legModule.getJumpPower()" instead of the float), but even using a simple float exactly like in the code above didn't help. When running my usual code, the object I try to use is found to be null instead, leading to a crash from a nullPointerException. Here is the stacktrace of said crash: The full code can be viewed here. I have found a workaround in the case of jump strength, but have already found the same problem for another parameter I want to do, and I do not understand why the code is behaving as such, and I would very much like to be able to override those methods as intended - they seemed to work just fine like that for vanilla mobs... Any clues as to what may be happening here?
    • Please delete post. Had not noticed the newest edition for 1.20.6 which resolves the issue.
    • https://paste.ee/p/GTgAV Here's my debug log, I'm on 1.18.2 with forge 40.2.4 and I just want to get it to work!! I cant find any mod names in the error part and I would like some help from the pros!! I have 203 mods at the moment.
