minecraft-protocol-forge

Adds FML/Forge support to node-minecraft-protocol (requires 0.17+)

Features

• Supports the FML|HS client handshake
• Adds automatic Forge mod detection to node-minecraft-protocol's auto-versioning

Usage

Installable as a plugin for use with node-minecraft-protocol:

var mc = require('minecraft-protocol');
var forgeHandshake = require('minecraft-protocol-forge').forgeHandshake;
var client = mc.createClient({
    host: host,
    port: port,
    username: username,
    password: password
});

forgeHandshake(client, {forgeMods: [
  { modid: 'mcp', version: '9.18' },
  { modid: 'FML', version: '8.0.99.99' },
  { modid: 'Forge', version: '11.15.0.1715' },
  { modid: 'IronChest', version: '6.0.121.768' }
]});

The forgeMods option is an array of modification identifiers and versions to present to the server. Servers will kick the client if they do not have the required mods.

To automatically present the list of mods offered by the server, the autoVersionForge plugin for node-minecraft-protocol's autoVersion (activated by version: false) can be used:

var mc = require('minecraft-protocol');
var autoVersionForge = require('minecraft-protocol-forge').autoVersionForge;
var client = mc.createClient({
    version: false,
    host: host,
    port: port,
    username: username,
    password: password
});

autoVersionForge(client);

This will automatically install the forgeHandshake plugin, with the appropriate mods, if the server advertises itself as Forge/FML. Useful for connecting to servers you don't know if they are Forge or not, or what mods they are using.
