What happened to "https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.12.2.json"?

Getting a 404 when trying to load it. Is it done differently now?

[Kzitold]

To fetch the file name, because file names before 1.8 were different. Can't direct download unless I know the exact file name.

Alright then. Keep your secrets.

I know that, and I'm giving my own money over Patreon. I'm just lazy and want to fix my automation.

Your automation is probably a bade use case.

There are ways to get the information you need. However we are not publicly exposing/documenting this API as it would do nothing but harm us {both financially, and support wise}

 

IF you have a proper usecase beside 'I'm just lazy' we might be able to point you in the right direction.

But you're saying you want it for older MC versions, which honestly, Should be dead.

I doubt you're installing older versions so often that you need automation for it.

lol

I just saw that comment in the version.json. XD
