Minecraft Forge Server
-
@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
-
Iirc, a jar is just a zip file. So maybe the files are inside it as resources.
-
@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.
-
@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?
-
@atrilahiji Yes, agreed. I think since there is a special comment about automating the installation, we should check regardless of the license. Please do reach out to them and ask how he/she feels about it.
-
Pushed an MR for 0.4.0 with proper automation. That message from my brother saved the day
Made a new one... no conflicts this time.
-
@girish So this developer is not awfully responsive. I tried a DM via his community discord and a message on patreon (threw him $7 since I automated it for my server at least). Not sure how to proceed. I guess I'm on the fence about this because on one hand I think this would be an excellent app to have but on the other hand, if usage picks up here he may actually have a tangible loss in ad revenue?
-
@atrilahiji Maybe we can publish, and then based on usage, we (as in, Cloudron the company) is happy to setup some monthly patreon based on usage/installs.
But also, let's put the patreon link in the description and also in the app's home page. I haven't looked into the app but is this using the same UI as the other minecraft apps? If so, let's change the HTML of the landing page there to have a link to their patreon.
-
@girish Oh sure, that makes sense. I messaged one of their other devs and he confirmed the main dev often doesnt reply or see messages. And that as far as he's concerned he doesn't have an issue with it. And yeah I can throw that up onto the repo in another MR if you want. I am going to support this guy so I can clear my conscience lol.
And to answer your question yeah the repo is honestly mostly the same as the current MC apps. I'll keep an eye on releases so I can update this. Also, to clarify I am currently using a beta release of forge in the repo to match the minecraft version we use in the other apps.

@girish New MR here: https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/minecraft-forge-app/-/merge_requests/4
Screenshot of the frontend change:
-
Huh the maintainer made it so only friends on discord could message him directly (or blocked me... can't tell) shortly after my DM. No reply. Seems like a cool guy...
-
@atrilahiji Oh, I imagine life as an OSS maintainer of a popular OSS project is hard...
-
@girish yeah fair enough. I’m sure he’s busy.
Oh by the way, is there anything else you can think of for a release? I can make changes he’s tomorrow but it makes sense to add them to the current MR before merging since it hasn’t been merged yet.
-
@atrilahiji nope, I think we are good for publishing it. I will check with @nebulon
