Minecraft Mod Programming

Important

Forge Mods are compiled using Java 8. Please make sure that the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the correct directory before you run the gradle commands.

Minecraft Server

Local Setup Using The Server

1. I recommend using the SpigotMC server

2. Configure the server according to the Minecraft Wiki instructions

3. If you want to use only a single Minecraft license on two different client computers, then

4. Configure the server to be offline: online-mode=false in server.properties

5. Change the displayName in the minecraft/launcher_profiles.json file of one of the users so that they have different display names (see How-To Geek: How to Play Multiplayer LAN Games with a Single Minecraft Account
   Explains how to connect to a personal Minecraft server in your local network from two computers if you have only one Minecraft license)

Crossplay: Bedrock Edition und Java Edition

Geyser is a plugin or standalone server acting as a bridge from the bedrock edition to the java edition servers like Spigot.

Setup instructions can be found in [the GeyserMC Wiki]((https://github.com/GeyserMC/Geyser/wiki/Setup). A default configuration file can be generated on the Geyser Homepage -> Config Editor. A docker image for standalone use is present at bmoorman/geyser.
