Minecraft Forge 1.1.2 Client

www.olgh.net_minecraftforge-client-1.1.2.rar

You need to have ModLoader already installed on your system

Open your minecraft.jar, open the zip above, drop the contents of the zip into minecraft.jar, just as you did for the ModLoader and / or ModLoaderMP. You’re all set.

You’ve installed the Minecraft Forge API / compatibilty layers. You only need to do this once for all mods requiring it. Note that certain mod may include Minecraft Forge in their code, in which case you don’t have to install the forge, but it’s no harm to add it on top of the existing installation.

If you’re installing the forge on a server, use:

Open your minecraft_server.jar, open the server zip, drop the contents of the server zip into minecraft.jar, just as you did for the ModLoaderMP Server.

- Override block replacement/deletion
- Secondary properties for block (isNormal, isReplaceable, isAir, isBurning)
- Allow an item to have the first callback on a mouse click
- Custom explosion resistances by block and direction
- Custom filled buckets
- Custom armors
- Modification of list of mineable objects
- Advanced configuration files

Bugfixes:

- Fixed a serious bug in TileEntity transmission on SMP

It is intended to be an open source Minecraft modification layer shared among modders to minimize incompatibilities. This is an open-source project. If you need additional hooks and modification, feel free to talk to us and send a patch along. We’re welcoming committers as well.

You have the right to copy the forge, and to put it straight in your mods distribution. What the license requires you to do is to provide the sources of the forge that you’re using. If you’re not doing any modification, just pointing to this page is fine. If you do, you will need to publish your own modifications. Please have a look at the license for more details and feel free to ask any questions on this thread.

In order to start working with the forge, the best it to download the source package, unpack it under your MCP and install it:

For Windows users, you just have to run install.cmd. If you’re on linux, you need to copy files and apply patch manually for now. A install.sh for linux users too is on the way, but in the meantime.
