This is Forge Mod Loader, or FML for short, by cpw.
|
|
|
|
More information can be found at https://github.com/MinecraftForge/FML/wiki
|
|
|
|
It is a clean reimplementation of a mod loading system for client and server.
|
|
|
|
It can be installed on its own, or as part of Minecraft Forge.

About Forge Mod Loader
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
Environments and compatibility
|
|
==============================
|
|
FML covers two main environments: client and server. All environments share
|
|
the main mod loading code base, with additional varying hooks based on the
|
|
specific environment.
|
|
|
|
There are some very visible changes to the client when FML is installed.
|
|
|
|
There are some bukkit compatibility hooks available, consult MCPC+, now known as Cauldron
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
Minecraft Forge in all cases bundles FML as it's modloading technology of choice
|
|
because FML is open source, freely distributable, and can be easily updated by
|
|
contributors through github.
|
|
|
|
Notable integrations
|
|
====================
|
|
Optifine has FML compatibility. It varies from Optifine release to release, however
|
|
in general it will work well alongside an FML or
|
|
Minecraft Forge installation. FML will detect and ensure the good operation of
|
|
Optifine (you can see it in your client as an additional data line on the
|
|
bottom left).
|
|
|
|
Mod information
|
|
===============
|
|
FML exposes the mod information through a mod list visible on the main screen as
|
|
well as some small branding enhancements. For full data mods need to provide an
|
|
information file. This file is a standard format so hopefully tools providing
|
|
launch capabilities can also leverage this content.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
Binary installation information
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
If you have downloaded a binary zip file you can install it as follows (client
|
|
or server):
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
============
|
|
To install on a server, simply execute the FML or Forge jar file, with a copy of
|
|
minecraft_server-@MC_VERSION@.jar placed in the same directory. FML will launch
|
|
it's patched copy.
|
|
|
|
To install on a client, run the installer by executing java -jar <installer>.jar.
|
|
It will identify the location of you minecraft installation (this can be customized)
|
|
and create a new profile "FML" there.
|
|
|
|
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. Minecraft Forge contains the
|
|
exact same code as this. You should not install FML if you are also installing
|
|
Minecraft Forge.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
Source installation information for modders
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
This code follows the Minecraft Forge installation methodology. It will apply
|
|
some small patches to the vanilla MCP source code, giving you and it access
|
|
to some of the data and functions you need to build a successful mod.
|
|
|
|
Note also that the patches are built against "unrenamed" MCP source code (aka
|
|
srgnames) - this means that you will not be able to read them directly against
|
|
normal code.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Standalone source installation
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
To install this source code for development purposes, extract this zip file.
|
|
It ships with a demonstration mod. Run "gradle setupDevWorkspace" to create
|
|
a gradle environment primed with FML. Run gradle eclipse or gradle idea to
|
|
create an IDE workspace of your choice.
|
|
Refer to ForgeGradle for more information about the gradle environment
|
|
|
|
Forge source installation
|
|
=========================
|
|
MinecraftForge ships with this code and installs it as part of the forge
|
|
installation process, no further action is required on your part.
|
|
|
|
For reference this is version @MAJOR@.@MINOR@.@REV@.@BUILD@ of FML
|
|
for Minecraft version @MCVERSION@.
