Is it possible to send an image using forge packet system. I have managed to download images using buffer streams and such using urls. However the only way i can get files download from my server mod is using ftp connection which need a password and username. problem with this is not every server owner will want to share there ftp password and username with every client. So i had an idea why not just send the image from the server instead of downloading from the server. Since forge has a built in system for passing data to the client why not see if i could use that. Is it even possible or do i have to make my own system for doing it.

You can, I wouldnt, but you can.

Images are only data, MC doesnt care what data you send.

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

Why don't you send a reference to the image for example a URL instead? Takes less memory.

Yes but i'm trying to have a folder server side that contains custom Guard texture for each server instance. I can get them to download using a url just fine but i don't want to have servers need to host there images else where. In other word make it simple by having a folder that the mod read the image from and sends it too the client to be saved. Though i'm not sure how to do this now, i though about using forge packet system but how do i tell the client which image i'm sending it? Should i make the client request the image then the server send it to the client. The client expecting it would save it as the correct image?

I think Minecraft already does something like this when it downloads player skins -- you might like to look into how it does that.

 

In any case, it's certainly possible -- you can put whatever data you want in a packet, including image data. I wouldn't try to download megabyte-sized files this way, since that might put rather a lot of load on the server, but small images should be fine.

 

As for the protocol, having the client request it from the server is probably best, especially if you're cacheing it in a local disk file, since the client can skip it if it already has the image.

      Exit code 1 with no mods installed on Minecraft Java Forge Versions above 1.18.2 (1.19 and up)

      By Yoda5577 · Posted

      Whenever I launch Minecraft Forge (With or without any mods installed, yes, I've checked my mods folder, it is empty. I also tried Curseforge's app.) above the version 1.18.2 (Versions 1.18.2 and below work fine), the game crashes before opening and shows error code 1. I have no clue what it could be, I've tried many different options on my own, but any suggestion helps.

      Game crashing instantly after opening with no mods installed

      By Hanabi · Posted

      Hello support, I would like to tell you that I recently had troubles with getting into forge in Minecraft. I wanted to play with my friend a modpack in the game in version 1.20.1 when I downloaded it it crashed so we I started deleting some unnecessary mods to maybe lower the pressure if my PC is not good enough to run the modpack. But I went to delete every mod and installed a hole new version of forge with no mods installed or anything with it it still crashed. I found some help on the forms telling to download java 17 and install it on my windows so I did that and still couldn’t play because it crashes  The log files and everything I could find to help this problem is here : https://pastebin.com/9rWpANcW Hope your help arrives quickly

      I'm testing a modpack for a server, and everything is fine, until I update the Aether mod from version "aether-1.20.1-1.4.2-neoforge" to version "aether-1.20.1-1.5.1-neoforge" now on the server it gives the error: Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load.

      Version 1.21.3 Loading Error

      By Spunk_McKenzie · Posted

      I just tried installing Forge version 1.21.3, and tried launching it with no mods installed. It loads, and immediately crashes while "loading bootstrap resourses." Does anyone know a fix for this? My Java is up to date, as well as my graphics drivers. Here's a snip right before it crashes: https://imgur.com/a/elLujPj

      Minecraft server Bewitchment Mod error Could not execute entrypoint stage 'main' due to errors, provided by 'bewitchment'! Cause

      By WorstLuck · Posted

      I know this is a forge only place, but just to be clear, my error is in Fabric I was actually super frustrated while trying to fix this, like this mod does work when I play it by launching it in minecraft, but when I was trying to install it onto the server it just kept crashing so I decided to delete every mod I've got but kept the bewitchment mod and the necessary mod it needs to function and I tried to run the server... But it somehow still crashed, and the thing is that I really do want the bewitchment mod to be in the SMP so it'll be SUPER helpful if anyone can figure out on how to fix this: It didn't give me any "crash-reports" so I'll be sending the logs and what the console said: Console: [18:51:46] [main/INFO]: SpongePowered MIXIN Subsystem Version=0.8.5 Source=file:/home/container/libraries/net/fabricmc/sponge-mixin/0.13.3+mixin.0.8.5/sponge-mixin-0.13.3+mixin.0.8.5.jar Service=Knot/Fabric Env=SERVER [18:51:46] [main/WARN]: Error loading class: io/github/apace100/origins/power/PreventItemUsePower (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io/github/apace100/origins/power/PreventItemUsePower) [18:51:46] [main/WARN]: @Mixin target io.github.apace100.origins.power.PreventItemUsePower was not found bewitchment.mixins.json:integration.origins.PreventItemUsePowerMixin from mod bewitchment [18:51:47] [main/INFO]: Initializing MixinExtras via com.llamalad7.mixinextras.service.MixinExtrasServiceImpl(version=0.3.5).
