Since you suddenly changed the topic of the other thread, I’ll post my reply here. But i just want to make it clear that the reason you got an error, among other reasons, is because Sponge will be for Forge 1.8 not 1.7. If you actually read the faqs I linked you you would’ve known that much.
Here’s my post from the other thread:
Thank you for explaining what you’re doing and making it clear.
No. Sponge isn’t finished or even in alpha yet so there isn’t any way to actually run any part of it in a meaningful way (or maybe even at all). Sponge will be out for Forge 1.8 not the current 1.7 release of forge. That’s why you had those errors trying to run it. Forge 1.8 isn’t even out yet so Sponge wont be ready until then anyway.
The recent announcement revealed that they cant do much more until forge 1.8 and the ECS is figured out. If they finish the ECS before forge, the only thing it’ll provide is something that the plugin devs can start working from until they can test Sponge later.
Sponge can’t be run by itself like bukkit because, like already stated, it needs to run off of something else. Yes in the future there are plans for it to be run as a standalone but that wont be for a long time. And even then it will need minecraft or glowstone to run it not just clicking the jar and trying to get it to work.
Sponge, once it releases, will be able to be used on Clients and servers because it’s just a coremod. It can be used on either one since Forge can be installed on the clients too.
Edit: Also i’d like to point out, this isnt like a minecraft snapshot that can be used with a few bugs, this is something that can’t even be run yet.
