Proposal: Add 1.7.10 support

[billy948787]

Hi I have made this mod available on 1.7.10
Here is my repo url: https://github.com/billy948787/modflared/tree/forge/1.7.10

I've tested on:

• GTNH modpack (platform: mac, Java25)
• Clean Forge instance created on Curseforge(need install UniMixins) (platform: mac, Java8)
• Other Platform

Feature :

• Let modflared run on 1.7.10 and replace minecraft api into 1.7.10 version and Java Std usage into Java8
• Workflow
• Others

Here is the implement detail:
I use the GTNH teams's forge 1.7.10 MDK to develop this project
Here is it's repo https://github.com/GTNewHorizons/ExampleMod1.7.10
They upgrade the gradle version into modern version. And keep the mixin available.
Also they use the Jabel https://github.com/bsideup/jabel
To let Java9+ feature can be compiled into Java8 bytecodes.

What I've done:
Basically just copy all of the original code from branch Neoforge/1.21.1.
Then refactor the code into 1.7.10 compatible.

Looking forward to your feedback. Danke!

Here is some screenshots.

I like and appreciate your work! However, I think the best course of action is to create two separate mods: one for version 1.21.1 and one for 1.7.10.
​Are you willing to do that? You could name the second one something like 'Modflared Legacy.' If you send me the link, I can add it to the official site so people can find it easily. I highly recommend this approach because Modflared for 1.7.10 and 1.21.1 are very different in terms of the toolchain and architecture. This also let's me concentrate on the newer Minecraft versions.

Hello I've created the "Modflared Legacy" application in Curseforge. For now it seems like it need to wait the moderator to approve my application.

Also I'm working on CI/CD. To make it same as this "non-legacy" project.

Thanks for your reply and feedback!

Hello. Recently the curseforge's moderator has disapproved the Modflared Legacy.

It says "Please remove the auto download of the CloudFlare and instead provide a link so the user will have to download it manually."

I wonder whether you had faced this situation before or not?

But it seems like If the user could reach the project with links. They are still able to download the mod though.

Sadly the project itself is only available on lagacy.curseforge. And It can't download the mod.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this. That's the whole point of this mod! If the user needs to download cloudflared manually, then there is no point in using this mod at all. It's made to make the setup process for the user as easy as possible.

If I remember correctly, I got the same message when I first published the original mod on CurseForge. Is there still a way to chat with the moderator? If so, tell them that handling the download is the main feature. I’d also recommend trying to publish on Modrinth because they are a lot friendlier. If you need proof that I’ve given you permission to republish, just let me know.

Hello.

Surprisingly the curseforge support team quickly approved my project. Also I have registered the Modrinth project.

Here are the urls:
https://modrinth.com/mod/modflared-legacy

Thanks for your support and help.

Ich wünsche Ihnen einen guten Tag!

If this is for GTNH specifically, they do have a version of the pack that's Java 17-21. I stumbled upon this for a similar reason as the OP, seeing if I could cloudflare tunnel 1.7.10. The GTNH team also specifically recommends java 17-21 unless you really need Java 8. Might make the work easier for you.

Hello. Thanks for your suggestion.

Because I am playing the GTNH modpack with my friend. I host the server on the Oracle free tier server. It's a little bit slow to direct connect to it. So I started finding something to speed up the connection. Cloudflare WARP is perfect. But I still want to try if cloudflare tunnel could work. So I started converting this mod to 1.7.10 compatible.

Due to GTNH team's 1.7.10 example mod. The task didn't take too much time and efforts to complete. When I finished the work. I also try on "Non GTNH mod env". It seems to work. Shout out to the GTNH team. They are fantastic!
