Link to current version of MCForge is wrong, should be http://www.minecraftforge.net/forum/index.php/topic,2019.0.html
~~Crackrat


Hello there!


'Twould be handy to have the version numbers in a more contrasting colour - even experienced IC users such as myself have been caught out by an updated IC version that's not immediately obvious as such. Another area could be to hardlink the Forge download to a version that's guaranteed compatible instead of the general Forge page, which could lead the inexperienced to download a version that's incompatible. Aethir.
Several questions about this page


Please make a 'latest version' section at the top of the article, to include the latest version of IC and the compatible version of minecraft. Most users are not familiar with version compatibility and expect software to 'just work'. Version (in)compatibility is what stops a lot of people from discovering and utilizing MC mods, and I think we should clearly point it out to educate everyone.

1) what is this API file for? should it be installed somewhere or it is developer's stuff?


{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=-|space=:|reply=well all needed information (f.e. latest IC version, compatible MC version) are given. so i see no point in changing something?}}
2) to FAQ: i've crated game with 1.3.2 and change the mode to multiplayer, but it gives 'server refused connection'. Is it possible with current status to play multiplayer on 1.3.2 version of Minecraft?
: Well yes, it is already there in quantity but not in context: newbies don't understand what it means, that a particular version of IC will ONLY function with a particular version of Minecraft. I feel it needs to be at the very top of the page, to make sure all newbies see it. [[User:Medicdude|Medicdude]] 19:15, 15 April 2012 (CEST)
::Also, usual wiki discussion replies use the colon (<nowiki>:</nowiki>) for replies, I assume you're using an automated feature to assist you, but the way it formats replies is very unusual. [[User:Medicdude|Medicdude]] 19:12, 15 April 2012 (CEST)
: Agree that it would be helpful to note that IC2 is not compatible with MC 1.2.5 explicitly, to save people a lot of trouble (and multiple, multiple forum posts) on the subject. [[User:Anotherbully|Anotherbully]] 00:04, 16 April 2012 (CEST)
{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=-|space=::|reply=I won't change anything for too dumb ppl >.>}}
:: Not helpful. You would rather have a million posts to the forums asking the same thing? Doesn't seem very smart. [[User:Anotherbully|Anotherbully]] 00:38, 17 April 2012 (CEST)


== Forge MLMP ==


ModLoaderMP is no longer used as newer Forges include parallel functionality. The Forge dependency should be removed. This page is semiprotected so I cannot edit it. [[User:Hawk777|Hawk777]] 04:39, 26 April 2012 (CEST)
{{Reply|user=Feanturi|agree=-|space=:|reply=1. The API is just for developers f.e. of addons for IC²<br>2. It should be possible to play IC² {{version²}} Multiplayer}}


== Phrasing ==


At the list of required downloads it lists modloaderMP like below:
== Downloads of stable vs nightlies/beta? ==


Forge's ModloaderMP (Only needed for IC² 1.81 ''and downward'')
This page provides links up through 1.111, but apparently there are versions at least as far as 1.115 in deployment.  Are these later builds still considered prerelease and not ready to be nailed down?  Could/should this download page link to a canonical source of nightlies/betas for the adventurous and testers?


The phrasing of the 'and downward' is somewhat confusing to me. Does this mean later versions require it or does it mean versions physically lower on the page need it (meaning the earlier versions)?
== Dead link? ==


== Forge ModLoader ==
Am I dumb or the 1.4.5 API download link is dead?


The dependency on ModLoader should also be removed since that’s also now in Forge.
== Compatibility between IC2 and Minecraft 1.5.1 ==
 
Does exist a version of IC2 compatible with MineCraft 1.5.1?
The version 1.111 doesn't work: after the starting "mojang" image, the screen remains totally black!!!
How can I resolve this problem?? have you got a solution/version to give to me??
 
I'm using an O.S. Win 7 Ultimate, while the User Account Control has already been disenabled.
the forge i'm using is minecraftforge 7.7.2.678
 
Thank you very much.

API and 1.3.2 single to multiplayer[edit]

Hello there!

Several questions about this page

1) what is this API file for? should it be installed somewhere or it is developer's stuff?

2) to FAQ: i've crated game with 1.3.2 and change the mode to multiplayer, but it gives 'server refused connection'. Is it possible with current status to play multiplayer on 1.3.2 version of Minecraft?


Quote.png1. The API is just for developers f.e. of addons for IC²
2. It should be possible to play IC² V2.8.<html> MultiplayerQuote.png

Downloads of stable vs nightlies/beta?[edit]

This page provides links up through 1.111, but apparently there are versions at least as far as 1.115 in deployment. Are these later builds still considered prerelease and not ready to be nailed down? Could/should this download page link to a canonical source of nightlies/betas for the adventurous and testers?

Dead link?[edit]

Am I dumb or the 1.4.5 API download link is dead?

Compatibility between IC2 and Minecraft 1.5.1[edit]

Does exist a version of IC2 compatible with MineCraft 1.5.1? The version 1.111 doesn't work: after the starting "mojang" image, the screen remains totally black!!! How can I resolve this problem?? have you got a solution/version to give to me??

I'm using an O.S. Win 7 Ultimate, while the User Account Control has already been disenabled. the forge i'm using is minecraftforge 7.7.2.678

Thank you very much.

Download links for MCForge no longer work[edit]

I am returning to IC2 after a significant hiatus, and I'm trying to follow the install instructions... but the links for MCForge no longer work.

Either the links need to be updated, or the install instructions as a whole need to be updated.

EDIT: It seems this is the new place to get MC Forge: https://files.minecraftforge.net/ I suggest changing the modern Setup to say the following:

Setup[edit]

To play the latest version of IC2, install the appropriate MC Forge version from the following site.

MCForge.Net

For example, if the IC2 Jenkins says at the top "This is the MC 1.12+ port", download the MC Forge version for Minecraft 1.12.
