Hey there, I was just wondering if ANSI is still supported for newer versions of the forge server. I had an RLCraft 1.12.2 Server that supported color within the command prompt window right off the bat with no extra commands, but when I try to run a forge 1.16.5 server, it simply does not output color into the console. I have tried manually enabling ANSI for CMD in my Registry but even that doesn't work. Have you stopped supporting color or is there a way to enable it? Thank you.

 

In the first image, you'll see my 1.16.5 server running without color. The command I used to start it was 

:start
java -Xmx8192M -Xms1024M -jar forge-1.16.5-36.1.0.jar nogui
timeout /t 10 /nobreak
goto start

The second image is a 1.12.2 RLCraft Server. The command used to start that one was 

@echo off
java -Xmx6G -Xms4G -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2838-universal.jar nogui
PAUSE

There are no special parameters that are added to the batch file to start that would enable color. I am lost.

I have zero clue on how to use that program. Is there a more simplified method? Also, did RLCraft do something special with the forge server to make it automatically produce color within command prompt or am I missing something?

Its a library forge uses...

That looks for environment variables, as stated in the readme...

Just set the environment variables..

No idea what RLCraft is or what it does. But it probably sets those environment variables...

As described in the readme... That I linked...

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

It took me a while to respond back to this, but I figured out what the issue was.

On Windows, I had to edit a registry key to enable ANSI and only THEN did the flags for color work!

I also managed to get it to work on the latest 1.18.2 Forge server as well (The new JVM argument thing is strange, but I kind of like that it's kept in a separate file. What is the reasoning behind that?)

 

 

BTW, here is the registry key to add/change for other people who want color in their console!
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console]
"VirtualTerminalLevel"=dword:00000001

After it's enabled, add these flags to your start.bat or user_jvm_args.txt
-Dterminal.keepMinecraftFormatting=true -Dterminal.jline=true -Dterminal.ansi=true

    • Hi everyone, I'm currently developing a Forge 1.21 mod for Minecraft and I want to display a custom HUD overlay for a minigame. My goal: When the game starts, all players should see an item/block icon (from the base game, not a custom texture) plus its name/text in the HUD – similar to how the bossbar overlay works. The HUD should appear centered above the hotbar (or at a similar prominent spot), and update dynamically (icon and name change as the target item changes). What I've tried: I looked at many online tutorials and several GitHub repos (e.g. SeasonHUD, MiniHUD), but most of them use NeoForge or Forge versions <1.20 that provide the IGuiOverlay API (e.g. implements IGuiOverlay, RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent). In Forge 1.21, it seems that neither IGuiOverlay nor RegisterGuiOverlaysEvent exist anymore – at least, I can't import them and they are missing from the docs and code completion. I tried using RenderLevelStageEvent as a workaround but it is probably not intended for custom HUDs. I am not using NeoForge, and switching the project to NeoForge is currently not an option for me. I tried to look at the original minecraft source code to see how elements like hearts, hotbar etc are drawn on the screen but I am too new to Minecraft modding to understand. What I'm looking for: What is the correct way to add a custom HUD element (icon + text) in Forge 1.21, given that the previous overlay API is missing? Is there a new recommended event, callback, or method in Forge 1.21 for custom HUD overlays, or is everyone just using a workaround? Is there a minimal open-source example repo for Forge 1.21 that demonstrates a working HUD overlay without relying on NeoForge or deprecated Forge APIs? My ideal solution: Centered HUD element with an in-game item/block icon (from the base game's assets, e.g. a diamond or any ItemStack / Item) and its name as text, with a transparent background rectangle. It should be visible to the players when the mini game is running. Easy to update the item (e.g. static variable or other method), so it can change dynamically during the game. Any help, code snippets, or up-to-date references would be really appreciated! If this is simply not possible right now in Forge 1.21, it would also help to know that for sure. Thank you very much in advance!
    • The simple answer is there is not an easy way. You would need to know how to program in Java, as well as at least some familiarity with how Forge works so you could port the differences. You would also need the sourcecode for the original mod, and permission from the author to modify it, if they did not use some sort of open source license. So it's not impossible, but it would take some effort, but doing so would open up a whole new world of possibilities for you!
    • Does it still crash if you remove holdmyitems? Looks like that mod doesn't work on a server as far as I can tell from the error.
