Forge and LAN

Posted June 4, 201312 yr

I wasn't sure where to post this at so I thought I'd post it here.

Anyhow, I've been trying to use the Open to LAN feature in minecraft, using hamachi with forge and several mods.

I've tried it in vanilla (no forge or mods, just the vanilla game) and the fix i'm using to allow lan play over the interwebs with hamachi works, but when I introduce forge into the mix, (no mods, just forge) the server/LAN game doesn't show up on the list of available servers.

Anyone got any ideas about how to fix this?

I've played with people on a server hosted on my machine before but only in vanilla, and it took ages to figure out how the balls to portforward things, and i'd rather not do that unless I have to, because it will probably tank my puny computer running the server and my client at the same time.

When you open to lan it should tell you which IP address it is listening on.

Typically Forge/FML will attempt to listen on the 'most real' address. So that other people can connect to you over the internet instead of having to rely on things like hamachi.

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

Do I have to port-forward on my router to get this to work, or does Forge go around the router, and port-forward itself?

So, what would happen if I did push that shiny red button over there? ... Really? ... Can I try it? ... Damn.

No, Forge does not do UPnP

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

Make sure you are using Java 17 JDK

In the start script, replace the word "java" with the java 17 path (javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks

NEED HELP ASAP - Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla

There are client-side-only mods in your server - start with removing justenoughbreeding

NEED HELP ASAP - Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla

Hey there, I have a big modpack I'm trying to run that I've put together with two other rather large communities- we have a grand opening scheduled for next week so it's really important that this gets solved ASAP.

The game runs fine in singleplayer, but when trying to run as a server using a hosting website, I've run into quite a massive error log. I've whittled it down to this point- I'm currently not sure what to do, as I believe the main error is relating to the datapack message, but I don't know for sure. Removing the datapack folder doesn't change the message either.

If the fix is something very simple, I apologize. I'm not too experienced with hosting websites and running large modpacks like this on a server.
I'm also not completely sure of which mods are client-only- a large handful of which are already disabled but I could be missing some. I just don't know which ones they would be, if that's causing the issue.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

Okay so I was trying to boot an MC Eternal 2 Server, I downloaded the latest server files from Curse which include a 47.4.2 jar. Whenever I install the server files into my folder and attempt to boot the server, I get Error: Could not find or load main class @user_jvm_args.txt in the cmd and nothing else. Now, MCE2 does have its own custom args so I deleted those and tried simple xms and xmx args, but that didn't let the server boot either. I assumed that maybe my java version was out of date, but I have the latest version of Java Installed and I even installed the Java 17 SDK for good measure just in case Java 25 is too recent for the pack. Still no avail. I tried running a vanilla 1.20.1 and it boots just fine, but for some reason the forge server still won't boot. Does anyone know anything I could try?
