I’m running DW20 and there is a known issue where sponge doesn’t work with AE-2, there is a workaround at the moment, but I don’t seem to be able to make it work. @simon816 has suggested using his bootstraper plugin.
I’m using Multicraft for my panel, so I select the bootstraper plugin as the start up Jar, but it tells me it cant find a forge mod to run. Any suggestions?
