Research install Python API in Minecraft local execution about mcthings

[acs]

First step is to install: «Install the lastest version of Minecraft Forge for your precise Minecraft version (http://files.minecraftforge.net/)» In my case I am using 1.15.2, the last one.

So I need to install in my minecraft client Forge. Once I have it, I can install mods for the client developed based on Forge.

Ok, I will donwload http://files.minecraftforge.net/ and install it in my minecraft client.

My feeling is that the installer of Forge does the same than for Spigot: it patches the Java Minecraft client so you can modify it (with mods) using an API installed in the client. For SinglePlayer, the client probably will start also a local server, and this local server is what it is patched by Forge installer.

Ok, I have now a minecraft client patched, so I can install now mods that can be used in SinglePlayer (at least this is what I envision now). The main advantage is that you don't need a server to enjoy the mods. And your local world probably can be shared. And I think that you can also share your "local server" so other can connect to it. But I need to confirm all of that.

And for doing that. I need to install my first mod client side. Let's go!

From my minecraft launcher I can now launch the original minecraft but now I have another option:

So if I install the forge version, I can install in it mods! That's the theory.

The mods currently installed:

Ok, so next step is to install the raspberryjammod mod and test that we can use as usual.

We just need to drop https://github.com/arpruss/raspberryjammod/blob/master/mods.zip in the .minecraft/mods folder.

And we have now and important problem:

So we need to use the version 1.12 of the Forge. Let's download it (we can have several versions in the launcher, and we can have this version for developing our Python code).

After install the 1.12.2 version of the Forge, you need to add a new installation in the Minecraft launcher using this version, so you can later select it and start it:

[acs]

Ok, so let's start our Forge 1.12.2 version with the Raspberry plugin enable in SinglePlayer and let's check if all works with our Python code.

All is working nicely. So we don't anymore to have a server. You can have your own server just reusing the one installed in you minecraft client for singleplayer.

Cool info: https://github.com/arpruss/raspberryjammod/blob/master/SECURITY.md

Let's check the config for the mod:

Ok, so as a summary:

• You need to have your minecraft client already installed
• Download: http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/index_1.12.2.html
• Install it with: java -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768-installer.jar
• Start your minecraft launcher and add a new execution based on forge-1.12.2
• From you minecraft launcher select the new execution
• Start a new single player game and you are done

You can start your python programs for Minecraft using as host localhost and as port 4711

Closing this issue!

Basic culture: https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/what-is-spigot-craftbukkit-bukkit-vanilla-forg/

Forge can be installed also in a server, so it is an alternative to Spigot. But it can also be used in the client, and AFAIK, spigot does not have this option.
