Sponge Dev Builds - Now Available!

Announcements

How do you if sponge is loaded?

61

Forge should print out something saying it’s loaded.

62

$ git shortlog v2.1.4..HEAD (replacing v2.1.4 with the previous release)

Or, if you don’t mind external tools, git-extras/Commands.md at master · tj/git-extras · GitHub

63

Sponge coremod devbuilds are available now, but what about sponge vanilla?
I should probably ask @Minecrell right? :stuck_out_tongue:

64

SpongeVanilla dev builds are not available at this time, but should hopefully be released before too long. There are just a few remaining things until we consider it stable enough to warrent dev builds.

I wrote a reply on this thread

It was a great idea to publish the dev builds. Now there is a lot more activity on the forums and on GitHub :slight_smile:

@boformer

We wanted to do it sooner but with the inevitable people deciding to run this as a main server, we wanted to feel confidant we weren’t going to nuke their worlds first :).

HI,

I have try to install it, but when I put the Sponge mod to the appropriate folder, the Forge doesn’t start. Only tell me that it can be launched.
I have the latest recommended Forge and your lated DEV Build and all for MC 1.8.
Can you tell me what I done wrong?

Thanks.

71

Use not the latest Forge build but the right one for Sponge (should be 1371 currently).
Then install the Forge server and copy the sponge.jar to the mods folder. The server should start then.

72

Got it working first time. Good job Sponge team!
I’ll try coding a plugin for it when I have some free time :smile:

Now we just need the mods to update to 1.8…

Where can we get plugins?

74

Right here: Plugin Releases - Sponge Forums

75

Use this.
Ore is our BukkitDev, but as of now, it’s not ready for proper use. There are lots of plugin posts in the Plugins category, where you can find plugins being written with Sponge code, but it’s not recommended to use the dev builds for your server as it’s still unstable.

76

Thanks.

And how long should it start. While I have now running about 30mins and see that is running, but I don’t see the console window and don’t know what is it doing.

77

just for clarification:
-install forge
-run forge (to test if all is ok)
-stop forge
-copy sponge.jar to /mods/
-run forge

i hope you didn’t doubleclick the jars :wink:

OR

follow this guide:
https://docs.spongepowered.org/en/server/getting-started/installation.html

OR

(3rd option) do this:

78

4rth option, download the sponge.jar from the repo, then run these commands

java -jar sponge.jar go

Then all you have to do is grab a new dev build every day, run this command and sponge server starts up, this command is even start.bat compatble!!

Hi, I have done it so. Isn’t there need any special settings in configs?
