Server is refusing external connections.

Posted January 6, 201312 yr

Just that, my buddy gets a timeout when he attempts to connect. I can connect fine, my ports are all forwarded. There is no error. We tried Hamachi, still no go. Tried redownloading and rebuilding the server from scratch. Still nothing. Nobody outside of my home network can connect.

2013-01-05 10:26:07 [WARNING] **** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!

Port is forwarded, firewall is configured, etc. etc.

This is if I set the the server-ip in properties to my external IP.

That's the only bit of the log that is related to my issue. There are no other errors. My ports are being blocked despite being forwarded.

Check the firewall settings on both computers. Also, verify that this only happens with Forge installed and that it is not a vanilla issue.

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

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

**** FAILED TO BIND TO PORT!

Means that you have another server running, you probably have another instance of the server running listening on a local address only.

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

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[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)) ) )
