Posted

i watched youtube videos on how to make a forge server and they say something is suppoesed to be in the mods folder to make the mods work however there is nothing in the mods folder

What tutorial are you following?

Only mods should go in the mods folder and Forge itself does not put anything in the mods folder.

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Spoiler

Logs (Most issues require logs to diagnose):

Spoiler

Please post logs using one of the following sites (Thank you Lumber Wizard for the list):

https://gist.github.com/100MB Requires member (Free)

https://pastebin.com/: 512KB as guest, 10MB as Pro ($$$)

https://hastebin.com/: 400KB

Do NOT use sites like Mediafire, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or a site that has a countdown before offering downloads.

 

What to provide:

...for Crashes and Runtime issues:

Minecraft 1.14.4 and newer:

Post debug.log

Older versions:

Please update...

 

...for Installer Issues:

Post your installer log, found in the same place you ran the installer

This log will be called either installer.log or named the same as the installer but with .log on the end

Note for Windows users:

Windows hides file extensions by default so the installer may appear without the .jar extension then when the .log is added the log will appear with the .jar extension

 

Where to get it:

Mojang Launcher: When using the Mojang launcher debug.log is found in .minecraft\logs.

 

Curse/Overwolf: If you are using the Curse Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Curse's installation of the Minecraft launcher as long as it is not launched THROUGH Twitch:

Spoiler
  1. Make sure you have the correct version of Forge installed (some packs are heavily dependent on one specific build of Forge)
  2. Make a launcher profile targeting this version of Forge.
  3. Set the launcher profile's GameDir property to the pack's instance folder (not the instances folder, the folder that has the pack's name on it).
  4. Now launch the pack through that profile and follow the "Mojang Launcher" instructions above.

or alternately, 

 

Fallback ("No logs are generated"):

If you don't see logs generated in the usual place, provide the launcher_log.txt from .minecraft

 

Server Not Starting:

Spoiler

If your server does not start or a command window appears and immediately goes away, run the jar manually and provide the output.

 

Reporting Illegal/Inappropriate Adfocus Ads:

Spoiler

Get a screenshot of the URL bar or copy/paste the whole URL into a thread on the General Discussion board with a description of the Ad.

Lex will need the Ad ID contained in that URL to report it to Adfocus' support team.

 

Posting your mod as a GitHub Repo:

Spoiler

When you have an issue with your mod the most helpful thing you can do when asking for help is to provide your code to those helping you. The most convenient way to do this is via GitHub or another source control hub.

When setting up a GitHub Repo it might seem easy to just upload everything, however this method has the potential for mistakes that could lead to trouble later on, it is recommended to use a Git client or to get comfortable with the Git command line. The following instructions will use the Git Command Line and as such they assume you already have it installed and that you have created a repository.

 

  1. Open a command prompt (CMD, Powershell, Terminal, etc).
  2. Navigate to the folder you extracted Forge’s MDK to (the one that had all the licenses in).
  3. Run the following commands:
    1. git init
    2. git remote add origin [Your Repository's URL]
      • In the case of GitHub it should look like: https://GitHub.com/[Your Username]/[Repo Name].git
    3. git fetch
    4. git checkout --track origin/master
    5. git stage *
    6. git commit -m "[Your commit message]"
    7. git push
  4. Navigate to GitHub and you should now see most of the files.
    • note that it is intentional that some are not synced with GitHub and this is done with the (hidden) .gitignore file that Forge’s MDK has provided (hence the strictness on which folder git init is run from)
  5. Now you can share your GitHub link with those who you are asking for help.

[Workaround line, please ignore]

    • Ah, it appears I spoke too soon, I still need a little help here. I now have the forceloading working reliably.  However, I've realized it's not always the first tick that loads the entity.  I've seen it take anywhere from 2-20ish to actually go through, in which time my debugging has revealed that the chunk is loaded, but during which time calling  serverLevelIn.getEntity(uuidIn) returns a null result.  I suspect this has to do with queuing and how entities are loaded into the game.  While not optimal, it's acceptable, and I don't think there's a whole ton I can do to avoid it. However, my concern is that occasionally teleporting an entity in this manner causes a lag spike.  It's not every time and gives the appearance of being correlated with when other chunks are loading in.  It's also not typically a long spike, but can last a second or two, which is less than ideal.  The gist of how I'm summoning is here (although I've omitted some parts that weren't relevant.  The lag occurs before the actual summon so I'm pretty confident it's the loading, and not the actual summon call). ChunkPos chunkPos = new ChunkPos(entityPosIn); if (serverLevelIn.areEntitiesLoaded(chunkPos.toLong())) { boolean isSummoned = // The method I'm using for actual summoning is called here. Apart from a few checks, the bulk of it is shown later on. if (isSummoned) { // Code that runs here just notifies the player of the summon, clears it from the queue, and removes the forceload } } else { // I continue forcing the chunk until the summon succeeds, to make sure it isn't inadvertently cleared ForgeChunkManager.forceChunk(serverLevelIn, MODID, summonPosIn, chunkPos.x, chunkPos.z, true, true); } The summon code itself uses serverLevelIn.getEntity(uuidIn) to retrieve the entity, and moves it as such.  It is then moved thusly: if (entity.isAlive()) { entity.moveTo(posIn.getX(), posIn.getY(), posIn.getZ()); serverLevelIn.playSound(null, entity, SoundEvents.ENDERMAN_TELEPORT, SoundSource.NEUTRAL, 1.0F, 1.0F); return true; } I originally was calling .getEntity() more frequently and didn't have the check for whether or not entities were loaded in place to prevent unnecessary code calls, but even with those safety measures in place, the lag still persists.  Could this just be an issue with 1.18's lack of optimization in certain areas?  Is there anything I can do to mitigate it?  Is there a performance boosting mod I could recommend alongside my own to reduce the chunk loading lag? At the end of the day, it does work, and I'm putting measures in place to prevent players from abusing the system to cause lag (i.e. each player can only have one queued summon at a time-- trying to summon another replaces the first call).  It's also not an unacceptable level of lag, IMO, given the infrequency of such calls, and the fact that I'm providing the option to toggle off the feature if server admins don't want it used.  However, no amount of lag is ideal, so if possible I'd love to find a more elegant solution-- or at least a mod recommendation to help improve it. Thanks!
