Running client and IDE on a different pc?

[Wyrm 0]

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?

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.
