Solved: Can't use realms with forge

[Andiera]

I have minecraft version 1.13.2. I can access my realms without forge, but not with my forge profile. 

 

The error I get is java.lang.NullPointerException. It happens even without any mods installed.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't say I've tested Forge with Realms....

Please provide your debug log

How do I get a debug log? Thanks for responding.

This is mentioned in the EAQ stickied at the top of the sub-forum and in my signature.

Thank you so much! 

 

Here is my log:

I see you're using Xaero's mini-map mod, I quite like it too.

 

I've discovered that using Minecraft Forge version 25.0.44  seems to work on Realms without causing the "java.lang.NullPointerException" error. You may have to reset way points, but eh.

 

Here's a quick link to the downloads page again.

https://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.13.2.html

 

Make sure you click "Show Older Versions" tab, and scroll down (quite a bit down, lol) to 25.0.44 and use the installer.

Hope this fixes it! it's what worked with me.

 

You'll notice that Optifine isn't showing up under mods, but unfortunately Optifine isn't compatible with Forge (or at least according to the dude who make's it forum page https://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding-java-edition/minecraft-mods/1272953-optifine-hd-fps-boost-dynamic-lights-shaders-and )

Thank you. I appreciate all of your help. That solution worked for us.

I wanted to use JEI on a Realms server but had this same problem. I tried using 25.0.44, as mentioned above, and was indeed able to connect to Realms, however, JEI didn't work (I'm using JEI version 1.13.2-5.0.0.8, by the way). I could see the controls listed under settings, but no actual functionality was present.

 

So I just tried a whole bunch of different versions of Forge. I didn't try every version of Forge, but I did narrow it down to this:

Any version of Forge from 25.0.63 or newer won't connect to Realms.
There is no 25.0.62.

Any version of Forge from 25.0.60 or older connects to Realms, but JEI doesn't work.

But by some miracle... Version 25.0.61 connects to Realms and JEI appears to be working.

We need logs:

62 is: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/commit/cb70702ab59ea22d783818773de358991b06c7c5

63 is: https://github.com/MinecraftForge/MinecraftForge/commit/58494f88788b9a298ffe3b5112875c873ebc2150

 

Both are commits related to the network handshake. But without access to a realm server, and just reading the code. It should be fine.
