Running client and IDE on a different pc?

I have 2 computers and I want to use one for Intellij, and the other one for testing forge mods (to lessen CPU load). Is it possible to have my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate) on computer 1, and runClient on computer 2? Can I set it up that when I press a button on my IDE, it builds my mod and starts Minecraft on computer 2 (runClient), while still being able to access debugging features on computer 1? They are both on the same network and I can access computer 2 via SSH.

 

The only way I could think of doing this is to manually copy the compiled .jar to computer 2, and start Minecraft on there (with some debug flags), then connecting to it from computer 1.That seems a bit tedious to do each time I want to some code.

 

Is this possible? And if so, any ideas on how to do this?

I can't think of any other way. But it should be possible to do this with a bash script, which copies the JAR over using SCP and starts the game using SSH. Then invoke this script from a Gradle task.

Then in the "Remote Debug" configuration in IntelliJ you can use "Before Launch" to run the necessary Gradle tasks.

What's stopping you from debugging on one PC?

  • Quote

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://paste.gg/: 15MB

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.

 

Twitch Launcher: If you are using the Twitch Launcher, their configurations break Forge's log settings, fortunately there is an easier workaround than I originally thought, this works even with Twitch'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.

Video:

Spoiler

 

 

 

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]

I'll try that, thanks!

I can debug it on one PC, but the CPU isn't powerful enough to open a web browser + IDE + Minecraft without the whole system starting to lag.

      Forge 1.6.4 : Problèmes d'installation

      By Shrayzz · Posted 1 minute ago

      Bonjour, j'aimerais me faire une partie en 1.4.7 moddé car certains mods ne sont disponibles que sur cette version. Récemment, j'ai acheté un nouveau pc car l'ancien ne marchait plus. Le problème, c'est qu'étant donné que le fichier "minecraft.jar" du dossier "bin" de ".minecraft" n'existe plus. Le type d'installation de forge n'est plus le même qu'avant, je suis donc allé voir sur des forums pour savoir comment je pourrais faire mais tous sont obsolètes. Pouvez-vous m'aider à installer cette version,  je voulais savoir si on pouvait toujours en faire des serveurs avec cette version ? Merci de votre réponse.

      How to register WallOrFloorItem / Torch

      By ChampionAsh5357 · Posted 56 minutes ago

      Nope, you're just registering the item twice. Your block calls this method which creates an item to which you then create another item under the same name.

      How to register WallOrFloorItem / Torch

      By StealthyNoodle · Posted 1 hour ago

      Certainly! https://github.com/Fnkee/solidrocks I see that I'm running a copy method on the torch, under the ItemTagsProvider (ModItemTagsProvider). That should be transfering data from the block tag into an item tag. Maybe that's what's causing the duplicate registration.

      By Sr_endi · Posted 1 hour ago

      Hey, i know I can set the light value with the Properties when I create a Block. But I want to set the light level in tick() of an TileEntity. I already know how to get the Block/BlockState, but I do not know how to set the light value. How can i set it?
