[1.12.2] Catch and Try

[PulseBeat_02]

Hi, I am making a making a minecraft 1.12.2 mod.

 

In my mod, I would like to implement some code that would catch a forge error while loading (Such as mod duplicates, crash, etc).

I know that I can make this possible, however, I do not know what that error name is called. (For example, ArithmeticException e)

 

Can someone help me determine what this error name (for catch and try statements) is called?

1) You probably shouldn't do this

2) Mostly because you can't do anything about the exceptions except display a message to the user (and then proceed to die anyway). Said message should be in the log file anyway and I'd rather teach people how to read their damn logs before I go about writing custom UI code to show them information that'll be in the log (along with more helpful information).

3) Buuut if you really really want to do this, all of the Forge mod loading exceptions are subclasses of EnhancedRuntimeException.

Thanks for the info!

However, I have another problem. What would I put in the "try" section if the user is going to hit play to run minecraft forge?

You need to figure that out on your own. The part that goes inside the try is the code that may throw an exception. Presumably that would be the startup process of Minecraft.

Ok thx.

So is the startup class.

GradleStartCommon.java

 

If so, I would run this in my try loop right? Unless if I am wrong that the startup class file for forge is not GradleStartCommon.

Are there any alternatives to a custom launcher?

[PulseBeat_02]

Ok. Guess I will have to go for a different approach for coding this mod.
