Contributing to Forge - building client/server jar?

[MCB]

Hey guys,

I want to contribute to forge and did some modifications I want to test on e.g. a Minecraft test server. So I need to build the jar files to do so.

The documentation says something about these patch files - but I don't really get how these work. Also I tried the gradle build as you would do it with mods and the eclipse export but both won't work.

 

Thank's a lot for the help!

[MCB]

I know that. But I want to try it on a real server and not just in the dev environment.

[MCB]

Because I need a server with better performance and the possibility to run the server several hours while continuing developing.

 

So is there any way to do so?

[Draco18s]

You shouldn't need to do that. 

[MCB]

Can't you just tell me how to do it? -.-

[OreCruncher]

There are bugs for my mod that I only find when running on a real server and not in a dev environment.  So, to me, the request is not to far fetched.

Why not?

I run into things like obfuscation and timing related things.  I can't say precisely in this particular case it would apply to Forge itself, but in my experience I don't release any Minecraft code unless I run it "retail" in a live test environment.

So is there a way to do it or no?

Okay sure... Almost thought that website is meant to help
Thanks

I'm getting a weird error on "gradle buildPackages" - that's what I would guess is the right one:

What's wrong?

[MCB]

Thanks, but that's not available for me: Task 'installer' not found in root project 'forge'.

[MCB]

What am I doing wrong that that task is not available?

[MCB]

Using eclipse.

But we're talking about the console gradle right?
