Some coremods are not compatible with Sponge and I believe it has to do with the Mixins that Sponge uses. I believe there are issues that have been opened up about it, not sure if any fixes are in the works though.
Im sure it will get fixed. I mean, at the very least NEI should be compatible! And not to sound like a jerk…but…the slogan is “Bringing together client and server Minecraft modding communities”
Yep. I’m sure it will sooner or later. But that’s always the issue with mods using transformers. Things break. Also, the forge version you’re using seems perfectly fine with the latest sponge.
NEI is notorious for producing glitches when used with some Coremods. Sponge can also be rather touchy with other Coremods. Put them together, and chaos runs rampant.
The issue comes down to the sheer scale of the class changes made in the respective mods, and the need for both to stay current with platforms like Forge, as well as other demands (ie other mod APIs, MC changes, etc).
I wonder if it would be better to have CCC (& NEI) use Sponge classes where possible? (Wishful thinking, I doubt chickenbones is up for a complete rewrite).
Just wondering why do you need NEI on your server? The client mod works without the server having it. Also will prevent that players will get stuck in Creative+. What I honestly dislike… .
