Merge Spigot and Forge.

Recommended Posts

Now I know that this is probably a hard thing to consider but some servers/players are struggling because they used to be able to load plugins and mods side by side on their server and access a lot of cool features from both. Things that people used plugins for include permissions, donor rewards, vote rewards and server management (as there has always been an odd lack of those sort of mods) and now because of the DMCA takedown of Bukkit that occurred they don't have them anymore.

 

Everybody thought that Bukkit/Spigot and their variants were finished and started looking towards Sponge as their hope for the future. Unfortunately, Spigot managed to pull through the disaster, this means that a lot of plugins that people use like factions and server management ones didn't bother to switch to Sponge. In fact, most developers still use Spigot and this leaves modded communities in the lurch after 1.7.10 because Cauldron didn't manage to pull through.

 

I understand what I'm suggesting might be difficult and I don't understand much about code but I think that it must be possible to slowly code Spigot into Forge. This would really help players like myself that like to run modded communities. I myself would love to be able to use the Movecraft plugin on a modded server but it seems that such luxuries may never again be possible unless the developers of Forge and Spigot work to combine the two.

As far as I know the Bukkit API is still in a legal gray area (if not completely illegal), which was the whole reason Bukkit/CraftBukkit disappeared. I don't know how Spigot are dealing with this.

This however means that no, Forge will not be implementing the Bukkit API.

I'm pretty sure that they found a way around it. Why not ask them?

They didn't find a way around it, they use the fact that Wolverness won't actually file directly against them because hes not that kind of guy. 

But the point is, no we are not going to build Bukkit's API into Forge. Mainly because its to restrictive for modders, and it has been fairly stagnant even before the DMCA so it'd be coding things in the wrong direction.

Beyond that, I flat out don't have the time of patience to do it myself so it'll never happen.

We've tried pushing for people to help write an Abstraction Layer but that didn't get any support.

So here we are, modding like we do.

As for permissions, which really is the only thing Forge lacks that Spigot/Bukkit 'provides'. There was a discussion a while ago about doing something like this. But it never got past the definition of 'context' which is kinda important. 

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

Armchair lawyering is not allowed in here. Its just one of those things that you're gunna have to trust I know what i'm talking about as i've actually had to contest something similar in court.

At the end of the day Mojang could come along and say 'Screw everyone all these projects are now shut down'. But they don't. And this has nothing to do with the Mojang side of things. 

 

But ya, to answer your question, No Bukkit/Spigot/Whatever external project will not merge with Forge.

    • Try deliting feur builder  It caused this issue in my modpack
    • I am not using hardcoded recipes, I'm using Vanilla's already existing code for leather armor dying. (via extending and implementing DyeableArmorItem / DyeableLeatherItem respectively) I have actually figured out that it's something to do with registering item colors to the ItemColors instance, but I'm trying to figure out where exactly in my mod's code I would be placing a call to the required event handler. Unfortunately the tutorial is criminally undescriptive. The most I've found is that it has to be done during client initialization. I'm currently trying to do the necessary setup via hijacking the item registry since trying to modify the item classes directly (via using SubscribeEvent in the item's constructor didn't work. Class so far: // mrrp mrow - mcmod item painter v1.0 - catzrule ch package catzadvitems.init; import net.minecraft.client.color.item.ItemColors; import net.minecraft.world.item.Item; import net.minecraftforge.registries.ObjectHolder; import net.minecraftforge.fml.event.lifecycle.FMLClientSetupEvent; import net.minecraftforge.fml.common.Mod; import net.minecraftforge.eventbus.api.SubscribeEvent; import net.minecraftforge.client.event.ColorHandlerEvent; import catzadvitems.item.DyeableWoolArmorItem; @Mod.EventBusSubscriber(bus = Mod.EventBusSubscriber.Bus.MOD) public class Painter { @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_chestplate") public static final Item W_CHEST = null; @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_leggings") public static final Item W_LEGS = null; @ObjectHolder("cai:dyeable_wool_boots") public static final Item W_SOCKS = null; public Painter() { // left blank, idk if forge throws a fit if constructors are missing, not taking the chance of it happening. } @SubscribeEvent public static void init(FMLClientSetupEvent event) { new Painter(); } @Mod.EventBusSubscriber private static class ForgeBusEvents { @SubscribeEvent public static void registerItemColors(ColorHandlerEvent.Item event) { ItemColors col = event.getItemColors(); col.register(DyeableUnderArmorItem::getItemDyedColor, W_CHEST, W_LEGS, W_SOCKS); //placeholder for other dye-able items here later.. } } } (for those wondering, i couldn't think of a creative wool helmet name)
    • nvm found out it was because i had create h and not f
    • Maybe there's something happening in the 'leather armor + dye' recipe itself that would be updating the held item texture?
    • @SubscribeEvent public static void onRenderPlayer(RenderPlayerEvent.Pre e) { e.setCanceled(true); model.renderToBuffer(e.getPoseStack(), pBuffer, e.getPackedLight(), 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f, 0f); //ToaPlayerRenderer.render(); } Since getting the render method from a separate class is proving to be bit of a brick wall for me (but seems to be the solution in older versions of minecraft/forge) I've decided to try and pursue using the renderToBuffer method directly from the model itself. I've tried this route before but can't figure out what variables to feed it for the vertexConsumer and still can't seem to figure it out; if this is even a path to pursue.  The vanilla model files do not include any form of render methods, and seem to be fully constructed from their layer definitions? Their renderer files seem to take their layers which are used by the render method in the vanilla MobRenderer class. But for modded entities we @Override this function and don't have to feed the method variables because of that? I assume that the render method in the extended renderer takes the layer definitions from the renderer classes which take those from the model files. Or maybe instead of trying to use a render method I should be calling the super from the renderer like   new ToaPlayerRenderer(context, false); Except I'm not sure what I would provide for context? There's a context method in the vanilla EntityRendererProvider class which doesn't look especially helpful. I've been trying something like <e.getEntity(), model<e.getEntity()>> since that generally seems to be what is provided to the renderers for context, but I don't know if it's THE context I'm looking for? Especially since the method being called doesn't want to take this or variations of this.   In short; I feel like I'm super super close but I have to be missing something obvious? Maybe this insane inane ramble post will provide some insight into this puzzle?
