I am having a hard time getting this to work. I have downloaded from here.
I used the windows installer (just trying to get it to work on my local machine and eventually will get universal to set up on dedicated server)
When I installed I get the forge-1.10.2-xxx.jar, minecraft_server.1.10.2.jar, and libraries etc. However, I never get a spong-forge.jar file to place into the modpack I plan on using.
LOL, yes that is what I am looking for, the only thing again I am not understanding how do I find the correct version. I have been able to download forge-1.10.2.xxx all day long, but where is the list of spongeforge?
Yes, the spongeforge.jar you downloaded from there goes in the mod folder.
And what do you mean correct version? You aren’t trying to match version numbers. Pick the most recent and put it in the mods folder. They are all for 1.10.2
You are clicking the wrong link. Notice that the number you are clicking on is under a column heading labelled “Forge”, which means when you click that link it will take you to the download page for the correct forge version. Notice the columns to the right labelled “Downloads”. Click the Mod link to download the mod.
There was an edit to that post. I got what they were asking… I first thought they were trying to match versions like Forge version 2098 with spongeforge 2098
Here is my next question where is 2099? I hit the MOD link and it downloaded 2098 (as it should), but the FTB Forge version is 2099 it seems to jump from 2098 - 2107 - http://prntscr.com/d55tzx
Because sponge versions are built against forge versions, the forge version is included in the artefact name so you can pick the nearest one. Quite often, subsequent forge versions will have minor changes and so the 2098 will work with 2099, 2100, 2101… etc.
However sometimes a change is made in forge which sponge has to update for, or alternatively we just bump the version so as not to fall too far behind.
Basically, if the version doesn’t match, it may not break, however the first thing to do if it does break is ensure that the versions are as close as physically possible where SF version <= Forge version. Building a new SF for every Forge version would be pretty difficult to maintain.
