Minecraft Forge Server

[A Former User]

@girish yeah for sure. I’ll add that in a bit here

[A Former User]

@nebulon Perfect. I dont mind keeping them stored on a static file server too. But yeah the purpose of this is for mods compatible with Forge: https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods?filter-game-version=2020709689%3A7498&filter-sort=4

[nebulon]

Ah nice, I guess it would also be good if you could describe how to use such mods with this app package. I have only personally used the stock server thus far.

@nebulon I added some quick guides. Might add have time to make a video or write a longer guide tomorrow. But I added some instructions in the README.

Also the frontend console issue is fixed and I bumped the forge version.

[nebulon]

Great, I think we are close to getting this into the app library. I've forked your repo into the cloudron namespace and you should be a "developer" for that repo at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/minecraft-forge-app

[A Former User]

@nebulon cool. Yeah the only thing I was thinking of changing there was hosting the actual server jar files and libs in a file storage server somewhere to reduce the bloat of the repo. Do you think that or the current method make the most sense?

@brutalbirdie also perhaps this change I made to mine will help get the terminal working for yours? https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/minecraft-forge-app/-/commit/b49f9b9ce3620dde5ca82aa4394345630120b251#d7eea7e71cfc09240e80c27cf7a3c1b6b21de82b

You’d have to see what the papermc server spits out

[BrutalBirdie]

@atrilahiji will try that.

[BrutalBirdie]

@atrilahiji That wont work for me
My Console output looks like this.

Feb 08 17:14:35 [16:14:35 INFO]: [Vault] No new version available
Feb 08 19:42:41 [18:42:41 INFO]: CONSOLE issued server command: /help
Feb 08 19:42:41 [18:42:41 INFO]: To view help from the console, type '?'.
Feb 08 19:42:55 [18:42:55 INFO]: -------------------- Help --------------------

so I would have to match \\[\d+\:\d+\:\d+\s[INFO|WARN|ERROR]\\]

@brutalbirdie

[BrutalBirdie]

@atrilahiji I will test this

.toString().split(/\[\d+\:\d+\:\d+\s(INFO|WARN|ERROR)\]\:\s/)[2]);

Tested it with jsfiddle and regex101

text = "Feb 08 17:14:35 [16:14:35 INFO]: [Vault] No new version available";
console.log(text.toString().split(/\\[\d+\:\d+\:\d+\s(INFO|WARN|ERROR)\\]\:\s/)[2]);

[BrutalBirdie]

Well ... silly me did a copy-paste mistake and forgot the \ at the first [
also why not this RegEx \\[.*\\]\:\s a lot simpler.

[A Former User]

@brutalbirdie Lol true that should work

[A Former User]

@nebulon FYI I submitted a PR to the repo https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/minecraft-forge-app/-/merge_requests/1

This should clean it up a bit more. Let me know if theres anything else you need from my end on getting this up and running as a proper app. Again, I am perfectly willing to be in charge of submitting MRs for any updates to take a bit of the load off of @staff

[nebulon]

yes thanks, saw that. I still have to play this through on my own to see what this business with the jar files is

[A Former User]

@nebulon For sure, thanks! Yeah if you have any ideas about that let me know. I'm a bit lost with trying to run a jar headless if it relies on options to be selected in the GUI and there is no documentation that indicates that it can be run headless

[girish]

Iirc, a jar is just a zip file. So maybe the files are inside it as resources.

[A Former User]

@girish Found this when unpacking the installer jar file...

I have basically 0 knowledge about Java. Does this mean anything to anyone?

[girish]

@atrilahiji Ah, good catch. I guess we can put in a link to https://www.patreon.com/LexManos in the DESCRIPTION/Doc link and maybe also setup some patreon from our side if we decide to publish it. I am not sure how popular forge is, but we can scale that amount based on usage.

[A Former User]

@girish Yeah thats going to be troublesome. I suppose from your end its a huge issue if the maintainer feels ripped off here. I suppose it really doesn't matter if it remains as an unlisted app for the moment (unless you think its ok... I definitely prefer having it listed but I get it if thats not possible). Either way I'll add proper attribution and patreon links.

Would you like me to reach out to the developer?
