This is Forge Mod Loader, or FML for short, by cpw. It is a clean reimplementation of a mod loading system for server side use, incorporating API implementations of client side ModLoader by Risugami. It can be installed on its own, or as part of Minecraft Forge. If you have downloaded the server zip file you can install it as follows: Installation ============ To install this on it's own into a minecraft server, simply copy the contents of the fml server zip file into the minecraft_server.jar file. Forge Installation ================== This code also ships as a part of Minecraft Forge. You do not need to install it separately from your Minecraft Forge installation. NOTE: there is no companion client side installation. This is, at present, a server-side only installation. ------------------------------------------- Source installation information for modders ------------------------------------------- This code follows the Minecraft Forge installation methodology. It will apply some small patches to your MCP extracted source code, giving you and it access to some of the data and functions you need to build a successful mod. It uses the fernflower decompiler to decompile minecraft, and the patches will only work with fernflower decompiled source. It will attempt to download fernflower and fail if it cannot. You can also install fernflower manually if you wish. Note also that the patches are built against "unrenamed" MCP source code- this means that you will not be able to read them directly against normal code. Source pack installation information: Standalone source installation ============================== To install this source code for development purposes, extract this zip file into an mcp installation containing vanilla jars only. It should create a new folder "fml" inside that installation. Once extracted, run the install.sh or install.bat script provided from the fml directory. It should decompile and patch your MCP source code for the server. Forge source installation ========================= MinecraftForge should ship with this code and install it as part of the forge installation process, no further action should be required on your part. For reference this is version @MAJOR@.@MINOR@.@REV@.@BUILD@ of FML for Minecraft version @MCVERSION@.
