Minecraft Forge Server

I’m putting this here to check for interest. I’m working on it in my spare time but let me know if there’s demand or if anyone wants to help and has more experience packaging custom minecraft servers or Java apps.

And I have my base for a papermc server
(ps: My version has a problem where the web console displays no text but works might fix this if I find the time)
Paper is a high performance fork of the Spigot Minecraft Server that aims to fix gameplay and mechanics inconsistencies as well as to improve performance.

I packaged it up and it seems to be working. I streamed the process and the VOD is here: https://video.lahijiapps.dev/videos/watch/0b3e1f74-d86f-460e-b3aa-604923371dbe
Open to feedback, both on the video and the packaged app (Yes I realize the music is too quiet and I forgot to switch OBS to my screen for a while)
Edit: Got biome o plenty working

@girish would there be a possibility of having this on the store or do you look for more votes? Of course I want to try to clean this up a bit before it makes it there and have no problems updating it
-
@girish Only thing is there doesn't appear to be an obvious way to automate the forge installer. Its a .jar file that launches a UI where you select the install location. Right now I am running the install locally and uploading the unpacked files directly to the repo.
Their download page is here: http://files.minecraftforge.net/

Re-made the repo so it has its own git history to make it a bit cleaner. Link here: https://git.cloudron.io/AtriLahiji/minecraft-forge-app

I was just testing the app a bit and while I have no clue what the difference really is, it seems to mostly work
The logs and command interface in the app UI does not seem to work though as well as @atrilahiji what was the reason to put the actual server code (the .jars) into the git repo?
Ideally we would fetch those from some upstream repo with just the pinned version number, if possible.

@nebulon I mean it’s pretty much a lightly modified version on your minecraft package. I’ll take a look at the console issues though.
For the jar files sitting in the package, this was initially because the install process requires running an installer jar file that uses a GUI to choose whether to install the client or server. I’m still trying to find a way to clean this up
-
@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
