SUMMARY

Forge mods are a fun way to enhance your Minecraft playing experience. With
OverOps, you can remove the headaches that can come with debugging on a
Minecraft Server. So, if you are a Forge mod developer, you should give OverOps
a try.


WHAT IS FORGE FOR MINECRAFT?

Minecraft is the most popular game on the planet, and it draws developers from
all over the world with the ability to add mods to it.

Forge is a popular, open-source modding platform for Minecraft, which provides a
powerful MDK (Mod Development Kit), which gives you modding access through an
extensive set of Interfaces.

Although it is playable as a single-player game, using a server to play with
others is more common when enjoying Minecraft. Deploying both client and server
versions can be necessary when building Forge mods for Minecraft. 


DEBUGGING MINECRAFT FORGE MODS

When working with mods on our Minecraft servers, it can be challenging to debug
issues that arise. More often than not, we have to dig through mountains of log
files, searching for errors that occurred, and even then, it may be challenging
to know what caused the issues.

With OverOps, not only can we see precisely when errors occurred, but we can see
the full stack trace of where the issue occurred in the source code, recent
commits in the source code, along with the variable state at the time of the
error. All of these features combine, making it much easier to determine why the
error happened.


GETTING STARTED

Creating Forge mods is out of the scope of this article. However, instructions
on getting started with Forge can be found here: Getting Started with Forge.

For this example, we are also using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. You can
download it here: Download IntelliJ IDEA.

You are free to create your own Forge mod, but if you would like, the source
code for this Forge mod is available here:
https://github.com/bmorrise/OverOpsMod


HOW TO CONNECT OVEROPS

Once you’ve created your mod, there are a couple of steps to complete before
starting your Minecraft Server:

To run OverOps on your own Minecraft Server, you can start a free trial by
clicking here. In the trial, we provide specific OS installation instructions.

There are two main steps to connecting your Minecraft Server to OverOps:

 1. Running OverOps Collector
 2. Attaching the OverOps Agent

After following the trial setup steps, you should have a Collector running to
attach to your Minecraft Server.

To attach the Minecraft Server to the Collector, you need to add the agent path
to my Minecraft Server startup command-line properties. In my case, it is found
here:

-agentpath:/Users/bmorrise/Downloads/Takipi/lib/libTakipiAgent.dylib

This property tells Java which agent, in this case, the OverOps Agent, to use
when starting up. The Agent attaches to the Minecraft Server and sends error and
logging information to the Collector, which sends it to the OverOps backend.

And that’s it! Your Minecraft Server is now connected to OverOps. Inside
OverOps, you will see exceptions and log messages, and you’ll be able to debug
your Minecraft Server with ease.

If you ran my Forge mod, you would see a NullPointerException in the logs. When
clicking on the exception, you will see the OverOps ARC (Automated Root Cause)
screen. In this screen, you will see all the relevant data associated with the
NullPointerException, to diagnose and fix the problem efficiently.
